Mechanical keyboard

I am looking for a Mechanical keyboard that is 10 keyless keyboard as i would rather have my numpad off set so my mouse is closer and maybe set the numpad else where on my desk on the left of my keyboard.
I was looking at the CM Storm Rapid-I. Nice layout, brown switches but i notice it does not have media keys. I have media keys on my current keyboard and would like to keep them as i often listen to music and help a lot with pause/playing and all that jazz.

So i am wondering if any knows of a keyboard like the CM Storm Rapid-I but with media keys.
 
Because TKL keyboards are made as small as possible, most of them likely won't have dedicated media keys.

Corsair do have to K65 Compact, which has dedicated volume buttons and play/pause, back and forward under function keys:

Not too expensive either. Only available in MX Red though.


The CM Storm board you mentioned in the OP does have media keys, but they're all integrated in the F5-F12 buttons :)
 
So to clarify you want dedicated media keys rather than ones used with a function key?

Yes, i find function keys very hard to use in a rush and take more thought to use than just a quick tap up on dedicated keys.

Also that corsair keyboard is very nice but i was hoping that it will have pause/play. I can see that i may have to go with integration but at least it has volume separate.

I am looking for something like the Microsoft X6 but maybe toned down slight.

Thx for all the posts so far.

I have a Cosair K65 and love it. Mechanical is kinda noisy but very sensitive. I usually have a headset on so the noise is not an issue.
