I finally got a chance to try out a friend's keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches, and I have to say, after using rubber domes for years, I finally understand why people love mechanical keyboards so much. The Blue switches just feel great to me. He also has a Razer Blackwidow Chroma, which felt good, but I believe the Blue switches feel a bit better to me. I'm not well educated in this field, and this is my first post on these forums. I tend to find good results when I search the forums on this site, though. I really would like to know if there is a similar keyboard to the discontinued (as far as I know) Corsair K95 RGB with Blues.

Key points for keyboard
-Built well and will last a while
-Wrist rest (this is huge for me)
-RGB (If I can't find a good RGB Keyboard, I'll just get a corsair k70 or something)
-Cherry MX Blue Switches (I really don't want to settle for anything else)
-Macro keys aren't huge on the priority list for me.
-I really don't want this keyboard to be more than 200-220$, if I can't find a keyboard for that price range, or hopefully less, I'll just find a non-rgb keyboard.

Thanks for all the help, everyone!

Have you tried MX Reds? If not, I'd go to your local Fry's or any computer store and try to feel their keyboards on display. I personally like the reds a lot, slightly better than blues. They feel good.

And the K70 is one of the only keyboards that have RGB and Blue switches.

Could you link me to a site selling k70's with RGB Blues? I can't find anywhere that even sells them.

I'll see what I can do about trying reds, but I love the clickyness (If that's the right way to describe them) of blues.

Browns, eh I don't think you'd like them.

I have a Cherry MX Brown and TBH, I like Blues & Reds better.

They're like Blues without the clicks.
