not sure if they make it in blue led but I'd imagine they do

Not a blue backlight (green as seen in the ebay listing) but you can get the same board listed from this group buy if you act quickly, you'll just need to be a little bit patient in regards to shipping (seeing as the shipments either way are coming from China) http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36090.0

I do know that the Cherry MX Blue Ducky YOTD boards come with blue LED's, but that'd likely be a deal breaker, just thought it's worth mentioning.

One option is a KBT RACE with Cherry MX Blacks and White LEDs. White LEDs generally have a blue tinge to them, so if you're okay with lighter blue LEDs then this is a pretty good board. Build quality is great AFAIK.

My signature hasn't changed since 2012. I should really update it.

This is the perfect keyboard by the looks of it.
the problem is the shop, in the WOT it has bad reputation:
http://i.minus.com/iboo3BF1s0TvPn.PNG

i tryed 2 find it in ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KBT-Race-75-backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-Switches-W-Blue-LED-/300801127291?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item460924f37b
and it cost 2 much for me,(cant afford over 528₪ (131$)).
edit: its the same store :O

any idea if there is any other shop that sell the same version? with F1-12 keys etc..

I believe the WOT rating is about the host of that the shop is using to host their shop on.. In other words, Qtan (Same guy who owns that Ebay shop you linked to, also a forum member here,) runs a shop on a website that hosts shop websites.

Taken from WOT "vendio.com
Description:

Vendio offers a complete ecommerce software solution that includes an online store and simplifies selling on sites like eBay, Amazon and more. "
Here's Qtan's subforum if you're still worried about how legit he is: http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=81.0

Don't forget to say that it's also built as a tank and american-made (by TG3 Electronics). Though it's a bit on the expensive side.

Kind of hard to see the keyboard past the LEDs and that horrible font.

Kinda of reminds me of my Ducky Shine on full brightness, except it has red LEDs with a blue one on caps lock.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
