I'm currently using a Corsair Vengeance K70 but the LED's are failing on it one by one now so i'm getting a refund and looking for a new keyboard. I would prefer it with with cherry red switches but i'm willing to try brown/blue as well, red(preferred) or blue backlit and with a volume wheel, wrist rest and numpad. I've been doing a bit of looking around and i can only seem to find something that has a volume wheel or wrist rest but not both. My keyboard drawer is also kind of small so anything way bigger then 17.24" x 6.54" x 3" would be too big unfortunately.
So far i've been looking at two keyboards that meet some but not all of these preferences and those are the Ducky Shine 3 (the wrist rest is an extra $30 though so i'm leaning toward the latter) and the Das Keyboard 4 Professional which is only lacking the wrist rest and backlighting but is otherwise perfect.
If anyone has any suggestions other then the keyboard i'm using currently, that would be greatly appreciated.

Cougar 700K seems to meet your criteria too:

Thanks for the suggestion, but that would be a bit too wide for my desk drawer unfortunately, i forgot to mention that in the original post.

From the specs it looks to be 1.5cm wider. The K70 must be pretty tight to start with.

I had to convert the mm to inches but it looks like its about an inch and a half wider, i mean it might fit but yeah it is already kinda right to begin with, the drawer on this desk is quite small

2.54 cm or 25.4 mm to an inch.
Cougar 700K is 19.17 inches
Corsair K70 is 18.6 inches.
That's only 0.57 inches difference.

Incidentally, why don't you want another K70?I have had the K60 for two years and it is great.
The only downside is would prefer MX Brown switches. The K60 only comes with MX Red.
I read a lot of reviews about the K70 having LEDs that die and i figured i'd take my chances, six months later they're now starting to die on me and from the reviews if they send me a replacement then the LEDs are most likely going to fail again as it is a very common problem. I managed to get approved for a refund from them so i'm looking into another keyboard.
