Looking for a keyboard

I originally was looking at the corsair K70, but decided I wanted Cherry MX Blue switches, which were discontinued.

I want RGB backlighting, Cherry MX Blue keyswitches (duh) and non-childish/gamer-ey lettering (ex. Razer). Also, I'd like dedicated media control keys and a professional look and feel.

Thanks in advance,
Me

The two best RGB keyboards to date which offer a wide range of colous are of course the K70 and blackwidow from what I know

you can check out the "Corsair Strafe Keybaord" which sells at a really decent price, HOWEVER its backlighting is only avaible in red color :/ And I havent done my research to figure out if it supports other specific keys...

Unfortunately for your oponion, the razer blackwidow could be your best bet
To be fair the black widow has a MUCH MUCH more friendly and easier system (synapse 2.0) to use
The blackwidow compared to the Corsair K70 has a much better vibrant colour which makes it pop out more

The only thing about the blackwidow keybaord which I dont like its the plastic build compared to corsair which has a much better material, HOWEVER if you treat a blackwidow keyboard nice, it can last for years
TBH dont pay attention to the brand, blackwidow Razer is spectacular, Yes I do admit a lot of children that have a lot of cash to spend do own one, but PLease dont let that change your oponion for the worse, its actually a really good keyboard, and everyone should be proud of owning either the Corsair K70 or the Razer Blackwidow, at least be fortunate!!

(unless someone has a better idea, or finds something better for your needs)

I actually looked at the Razer and the Strafe, which DOES have a Cherry MX Blue/RGB variant but I dislike the Razer logo and the font. Replacement keycaps cost ~$50 for what I want, and from my point of view, the keyboard loses value from that. Also, the Razer doesn't have dedicated multimedia keys. I do like the macro buttons, though. Thanks for the help anyway.

no problem I did do some further research but couldnt find really anything apart from fake gimicky cheap chinese backlight keyboards
ALTHOUGH

you might want to have a look at logitech G910 RGB, but then again, that one looks a bit to gamer-ish.. also doest have media controls as far as im concerned :/

I think you mean the Orion Spark, which does have media controls. I'd totally choose it, but it's so ugly that I can't imagine having it on my desk.

It's a feature-rich keyboard, but I'ev settled on a brown k70. THanks for the help anyway!
