gf is looking for something similar but with mechanical switches. i haven't been able to help her, but figured i'd try here.

she got really used to the extra set of buttons on the left and would prefer to buy something at least similar.

thanks.

I feel dirty saying it, but why not something like a good keyboard and a Razer Orbweaver?  That gets you the same keys off to the side.

I'd say CM Storm QF TK + a keypad (Razer Orbweaver is unfortunately the only readily available one).
