Where can I buy Dell SK-8175 keyboard? What switches does it use? Do you know a better cheap keyboard in this price range? I want a cheap alternative to my expensive keyboard(s). Something that I can destroy when I am mad and not give a f***.

And why not go out and do some sporting or something in stead of breaking stuff?

Oh.. You are so sweet. Thanks for your concern, I hardly have time for any PC activity these days, with university and all that stuff.

And the price range is around that money. Dell SK-8175 seems perfect to me. So something like that.

A cheap keyboard alternative to a expensive one.

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.
