im in need of a mech keyboard,BUT it has to have some bits and pieces,

ie, have a backlight in blue(ideal different colours aswell)

B) have a strong/solid wirst rest(main thing) ideally like my razer lycosa.

C) have a USB port(not a big deal)


it doesnt need any media keys, or mmo/macro keys

something like the Qpad MK 80 but is it blue?!

Well the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate meets two of your requirements. It has blue backlighting and a USB port. I suppose you could just buy a separate wrist pad.
