Cheap and good quality cherryMX blue switch with backlit keyboard?

Solution
I bought a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Battlefield 4 for 90 AUD.

The Battlefield 4 edition has a Orange backlight and has Cherry MX Blue switches, while the latest regular Blackwidow Ultimate has Razer's own switches and a green backlight. The build quality is very good, with a metal plate behind the keys, making it weigh 1.5kg. The backlight is bright and has 20 brightness levels, and the keys have a slight rubbery feel, so your fingers won't slip off the keys even with sweaty hands in hot conditions.

USB, headphone and mic passthroughs, although the headphone pass through does decrease sound quality. It has a Gaming mode which disables the windows button, as well as alt+f4 and alt+tab if selected in Razer Synapse (I highly doubt...

Media buttons require FN to be pressed, not dedicated buttons.

Be careful with the software, it could possible damage your PC. It made my pc go to 60%+ load, 80+C temp (pretty hot room, but still not normal without gaming), used up 3.5GB RAM. All was good after closing Razer Sh*tnapse. Opened it again, and everything was good ever since (about 5 days ago, when I got it). That was before installing the updates though, so make sure you do that.

Razer's switches feel (and sound?) almost exactly the same as Cherry MX blues. They are made in China, but are supposed to last 10 million keystrokes longer than Cherry switches.
