Hello! I have been searching for a keyboard that suits my needs for quite some time now and I can't seem to find what I want.

I am looking to find a mechanical keyboard (never tried it before) with red or brown switches, this is what people have recommended for me. I am a heavy programmer and a gamer as well, so please help me with what I should go with there.

Also, multimedia keys are preferable & I have my heart set on built in audio jacks (mic & headphones) to the keyboard so that I can plug my headset directly into my keyboard since my computer is far away. (if there is some adapter I can use with a mute switch that I can plug into the USB on the keyboard, this would be fine too.)

Next, it would be highly preferable if I had M keys to bind macros, I tend to use these a lot.

And last, I need backlighting of course, I work at night a lot and my current keyboard has very dim backlighting.

I just can't seem to find a keyboard that fits my needs, can somebody please help?

(sidenote: I'm a huge fan of volume wheels instead of buttons.)

@jaraldo Yes, under $200. The K95 has caught my attention but there are no audio ports on the keyboard. If there is an adapter with a mute switch I could maybe suffice.

I just bought the K95 2 months ago; my first mechanical. 0 regrets and really great to type on. I needed a keyboard with at least 12 macro keys, so that was one of my main reasons for going for it.

Here is a jack

I'm sure there are cord versions to but this one has nice reviews.

If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask. :)
