Looking for the impossible - mechanical + backlit + hungarian layout?

[ainsyl]

Dear all,

I'm newly registered, but have been lurking and searching for a while. It seems what I want is nearly impossible, so I come to you in search of suggestions.

What I'd like is to have a basic-looking, backlit mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches... and with a Hungarian layout (it's a modified QWERTZ). It seems that last requirement bars me from 99% of keyboards that are available and even the remaining 1% is questionable.

The only keyboards I found that have localised boards I can get in Hungary are these:

Gigabyte Aivia Osmium
Tesoro Colada
Tesoro Durandal Ultimate
Roccat Ryos MK

I decided the Durandal is the least barf-worthy one (really really really hate the look of those "gamer" keyboards with the strange angles and macro keys), but after researching them it seems they are made by a certain iOne manufacturer, on which the consensus is "Danger, avoid at all costs". It seems all of the available ones to me have an iOne board.

My question is, is either the Durandal, Colada or Osmium could be worth my time? The OEM manufacturer's bad rep is a turn off, but my Google-Fu is not bringin up hordes of bad reviews either (except for maybe the Gigabyte one, on Amazon).

I tried looking into custom keycaps, but as far as I could gather, there is no company that makes custom, backlight-friendly keycaps that have just the letters light up (can't really see the point behind the half-transparent and clear keycaps).

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

You can buy good backlit keyboard, and then just laser-etch additional symbols on keys. In many cases that could be done.

Can you give directions on who/which company can do this? Because I'd be really happy if this was actually an option. I spent days trying to search  for backlit friendly custom keycaps without success, even tried to message Maxkeyboards and WASD, but they said it's not an option for them. There are some that would only accept large batch orders for customs.
I have the opportunity to visit the USA and UK regularly, so that isn't a problem.

Sorry, but I don't know about Hungarian companies - but there must be some. And I know this is done on MacBook keyboards - which are backlighted. You best ask about it in Keycaps subforum.
