Keyboards! Cherry mx blues

[WTHaPenguin]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new keyboard. i just got a new build and I'm looking for a keyboard to compliment the build.

I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX blues. they don't need to have macro keys, but it does have to have independent directional keys and a number pad. the keyboard also has to have blue backlights, or be able to have a blue backlight (everything in my build lights up blue).

i loved this keyboard but i can't find it (it may be discontinued) http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-k70-fully-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-cherry-mx-blue
if you can find me a place where i can buy it, ill love you forever.

my price cap is around 100$ but if the keyboard is outstanding ill drop a little bit more

thanks guys!

Well, that is backlit in red, which isn't what I'm looking for

There is only one I can remember

thought about that one but i don't like that keyboard because it feels more compact than it needs to be.

Im probably going to get the razer blackwidow ultimate with blue switches and blue leds

 

[Bluemoon_9]

Well, I like good keyboards, and if you forego one of the prerequisites (Blue key with blue backlight) I will say

1.Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 . A great keyboard. This one is a joy to use. I think it has the blue keys.

2.Logitech G510. Great keyboard. But not mechanical 🙁

what does the 2013 have in difference with the just normal Razer black widow ultimate?

 

[Bluemoon_9]

There are a bunch of black widow ultimate versions. Which one we are talking about?

you are right, there are a lot and its confusing and annoying lol. This is the razer blackwidow ultimate, and its blue leds and mx blues. fits my requirements but its the ONLY blackwidow with a gloss finish which makes absolutely no sense....... but there it is.

 

[Bluemoon_9]

I was not aware of this one. Looks like it fits your requirement perfectly

There you go, I would personally go for the K70, but the two other options are also nice.

i would too, thats why i linked it in the description haha, but do me a favor and try to buy it. it gives you two vendors, amazon and new egg, who both are out of stock or currently unavailable... 🙁

Indeed, they may have discontinued the product as a measure to attract sales towards the RGB version when it comes out. It's not available in any country... I searched in all european stores, as well as canadian and U.S....

Anyway, the Ducky Shine 3 is highly regarded by keyboard enthusiasts, so have a look at that. (http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/ducky_shine_3_review.html)

i appreciate the time you took to find that out. unfortunately, 150 is a too much money for me to drop it on a keyboard. i feel like after 120 i just don't care too much about it to spend that much money.

im considering the Ducky shine zero, but unfortunately its very minimal.
the blue black widow was discontinued... 🙁

Indeed.. Well I can't really find any other alternatives that aren't plain-looking.. The Vortex pure pro also has a blue backlit version, but it's just a plain black keyboard otherwise
