I'm still waiting on a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical keyboard ordered from a competitor in mid December. As Razer seem to have production problems and won't ship to the UK until mid April I'm looking for an alternative. Wish they did a backlit Filco Majestouch...

Mechanical keys - was thinking cherry blues.
Preferably backlit keys
Preferably with USB port and headphone out.

Any suggestions that fit the bill?

I'd just wait.
 
Deck Keyboards do a backlit in various colours with a selection of various switches. Ultimately though it's going to be gaming keyboards where you get things like backlighting and integrated USB hubs and audio ports. The DAS keyboard has USB hubs but no backlighting or audio ports.

I have a Filco UK, a Matias Tactile Pro 3 for the Mac. I've had a couple of Filcos which I've sold on actually. Kept just the one with Cherry blues. My favourite switch. At the moment I'm trying to source a DSI SMK-88 for the Mac, which uses blue switches. I forgot how much I enjoy typing on blues when I bust it out after using my MTP3 exclusively for a couple weeks.
 
Oh and if you don't mind buying from Asia, there's a brand called Xenics in Korea who do a board called the Tesoro. LED backlighting. USB hub. Audio ports. It is a rebrand of the iOne Xarmor U9BL from Taiwan.
