It seems like there are many of the type that you want on eBay.co.uk .Buy It Now at around £20.
Some sellers have specified that they ship to locations outside the UK.

I've handled a Crayola-branded keyboard with this layout, and it was not mechanical.

My uni has one in one of the labs, right next to the print station with the G80-8113. I never suspected it might be mechanical. I'll check it out Tuesday, that's the next time I have a class in that building.

I doubt they'd part with it though.

DSI LARGE KEY KEYBOARD

I will pay a great deal for this keyboard.

I was searching NewEgg the other day and came across this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823658004 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823658004)

its only 69.99, so I don't think it will lead to much regret should the experience end as hideous as I believe it will. This version has function keys, is USB, and guessing isn't mechanical.

If I was going to consider one of these, I would go for yellow (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823658007) and try to convince anyone who saw it that I was going for a bumble bee theme.

If you want large letters and mechanical switches (ALPS) then this may be your best bet:

Same concept, except it does have mechanical switches.  I'm not a fan of this style, but I know it comes in black with white lettering.  I have seen it on amazon before for around $70 US, but I can't find it at the moment.
