Hi,

I've done some research and I've narrowed down what I want in a keyboard...

Budget isn't really a problem, however I'd like to stay sub-$250 if possible.

I need:
10-key keypad (full size keyboard)
MX-Blue switches
Extra programmable buttons
USB passthrough/hub
Backlit keys (prefer to be able to select individual keys to be lit, but not mandatory)

The CM Trigger Z looked like it would be a great fit, but they are no longer available. :(  ...

Anything else out there that fits all the requirements?

Thanks!

What country do you live in? I'll find you a keyboard with all of these features. :)

No worries :)  See if you can find either of those keyboards on a website of your choice.
There isn't really any other options with MX blues.
Good luck! Consider choosing one of my answers if I've helped. :)

Decided to go ahead and get the Corsair Vengeance K70 w/MX Blue switches and red backlighting, gunmetal grey color... Sucks it doesn't have programmable buttons, but I'm sure I can use software to do basically the same thing if I really have to. I've survived this long without extra keyboard buttons, I'm sure I'll be ok without them. Can't wait to get the keyboard!

Thanks again!

You'll love it! Nice choice. :D 
Happy to have helped. Please pick my answer as the solution if you can ;)

I would be happy to, however I don't see a way to choose your post as a solution. In fact, I can't find the word solution anywhere on the page except for you asking, and directly underneath where I am typing this it says "add a solution" in the drop down. lol, if you tell me how to do it, I would be happy to! :)

I think it's because you posted the question as a discussion. Oh well, not to worry! :)
