Help me find the right keyboard (please)

[bob1313134]

What I'm looking for

• Red switches
• No Keypad
• Blue Backlight
• F keys close to number row and escape pad
  • ^ Here is an example of this -- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FG5cpLJvL._SX466_.jpg
• Simple design (ideally not too many markings or logos etc)

What I have found

• Keycool II 84 Keys Portable Backlight Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
• Noppoo Lolita 87 USB NKRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with LED backlighting

Any recommendations? Other options? Places to buy this? I cannot find a single place to buy this right now (I cannot find either the Keycool or Nopoo)! Please help.

Keycool/Noppo has started using cherry clone switches now and the prices have dropped abit. Amazon has 1 seller with limited stock when searching right now.

Not sure if MK has what you are looking for:

The closest one I know is CM QuickFire Rapid-i. F keys may not be as tight as you'd like, and it's white instead of blue backlit, but the switches are red and there's no numpad.

Thanks for the replies.

OK what if I dont limit myself to a smaller keyboard. All i want is red switches, blue back light, and F keys that are lined up with number keys. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You're looking for a 75%/84 key layout. Theres a list on reddit but I can't find it in a quick search. Apart from the ones already mentioned, theres the kbt race 2 and the Nixeus Moda which was reviewed recently.
