Hi! So I'm on the hunt for a good mechanical keyboard to match my PC. As long as it's not some absurd price ($160+) I'd be good with it. There are a few things I need out of it:
1)Must have Cherry MX Blue switches. I love the clicky feel/sound.
2)Needs to be black and have blue/ customizable lighting.
3)Needs to be wired, preferably with a braided cable.
4)Full sized keyboard, none of this tenkeyless stuff. Programmable keys would be nice too, but aren't necessary. Media controls would be great, too. (like skip, reverse, pause, volume controls, etc.)

Try the Ducky Shine 3. You can get a Cherry MX Blue version with a blue backlight but it is usually low on stock because of the high demand. If you can't find that, try the Razer Blackwidow Chroma with customizable RGB backlighting if you are fine with Kailh Razer Green switches which are more optimized for gaming. There aren't too many keyboards with Cherry MX Blue switches and blue backlighting.

What about the CM storm quickfire? It has Blue LED's and MX blue switches. I would also consider the Razer BW chroma.

I suggest the TTEsports Poseidon Z. It's black, blue backlighting, blue switches, good build quality, and it's cheap. I believe the cable is braided. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=... Here it is for $70. Anything with Cherry switches will be good, after that it's just build quality and appearances.

Yeah, I was thinking of the normal Poseidon, sorry. Was thinking there were two, the Poseidon Z, and the tenkeyless ZX. The Kailh switches are still good, but I understand wanting Cherry. The Poseidon with Cherrys is still only $100 and fits your requirements too.

Are you going to be bringing your keyboard to LANs or moving from area to area? If the answer is YES, get the CM Storm Quickfire TK. I had it and it was awesome. I eventually had to throw it out because I spilled coffee AND mountain dew on it. However, if the answer to the first question is NO, get the above mentioned Ducky Shine 3 with Cherry MX Blues and the Blue Backlighting or the Razer Blackwidow Chroma (Kailh Razer Green Switches) or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... It is currently out of stock but Newegg restocks its stuff pretty quickly based on my experience.
