need some guidance with custom keyboard.

[deicide3]

hello been long time since i have browsed this forum, so the time came and i'm in need for an upgrade. and sadly what i look for in keyboard does not exist.
i'm looking for custom keyboard that will have: mx dark grey(linear), "tenkeyless" us layout, blue back-light and full case(not "floating keys").

thank you for your time.

There are some interesting keyboards over in the classifieds https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=59.0 or you might have to piece together exactly what you want through group buys https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=70.0

If you want something just off the shelf, there are plenty of vendors over in https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=51.0

I personally have a Leopold wit MX Blues I got off Elite Keyboards sporting Round 5 sphericals off 7bit's group buy.  and a Noppo choc mini with MX browns (ebay) with white on black double shots off 7bit's group buy. Also, a bolt-modded silver badged Model M as my daily work keyboard that I took into the office with me.

Sometimes you have to mix and match a bit to get exactly what you want. Its not a cheap endeavor, but worth it if you spend a lot of time behind a keyboard.

Not to rain on your parade or anything. I had a similar issue once upon a time. So what i did was i picked up a soldering kit, ordered some switches and started watching soldering videos. Got a cheap bord, replaced the switches

So i would suggest getting a used qfr or smth, get your switches, surely you have a friend or acquaintance which know how to solder and have the necessary tools.

From time to time there are some keyboards showing up on Massdrop which has the option to choose swithces(not sure if i have seen linear greys as an option though)

third option is almost the same as option one, but get springs instead from sprit(has a thread in the groupbuys) and get a bord with linear switches(reds, blacks)

You have rather specific needs on a pretty uncommon switch. It is highly unlikely you will find exactly what you want unless you are willing to do it yourself, or ordering a custom made board. That being said, I have seen a Varmilo VA87M with everything you are looking for, except it has floating keys.

Why not try to build something yourself and make it everything you want it to be? Or, alternatively you will probably have to accept some compromise in your requirements.

If you want a fully custom built board, it is going to cost you and take a while. Check GON's website. His lead time is through the roof right now.

Or you can order all the parts and pay someone to construct it for you.

It's literally the fourth link listed.

Are you really that stubborn? Varmilo is a Chinese company so even if they did have a website, it would be mostly in Chinese. Here...
