Mechanical keyboards never cost 5$ on ebay. Don't waste time guessing.

I can think of plenty of cases where I've seen $5 mechanical keyboards. Particularly when we had those $5 NIB AT101Ws.

Not mechanical, but still a good keyboard for a rubber dome. I have a few of these in black, sans windows key.

Have a look at XArmor (http://ergogeek.com/xarmor-u9bl-s-led-backlit-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html) before you go Razer.

"What is X" owns a Armor... Cool - Isn't it?

Not available in Australia. In any case, bought an IBM 1397000 so no need to get a BW :D
