You surprised ?, cannot expect people read every single post and maybe you should update the 1st post on what your actually after now.

Maybe the Corsair Vengeance K65 although it has no numpad or even one of the Rosewell keyboards.

And lets face it people don't know were you can buy from but i do know if you posted a few sites were you can get a keyboard some one would go though the effert in helping you without a snot nosed attitude.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a long time. Why the shit would they even reply then? I don't read everything either - but I bloody don't post any replies to such threads, because I'm not retarded!

The idea was to get suggestions for keyboards, and if I liked any of them, I'd see if they were available in my country.

Man, you need to calm down. Stop getting your panties in a bunch about mechanical switch keyboards. If your only argument against them is cost, then you need to just keep you eyes open because my Roswill RK-9100 costed me 80 USD and if bought it a day earlier I could have gotten it for 70 USD. Now, I do understand that is a good price for a keyboard (as in, still more expensive than a cheap one,) but so far it's been a pleasure to type on. I develop for work on my tower so my keyboard gets a lot of typing in, so I feel I need to point out that despite the difference in cost, the feeling you get when you type all the time is priceless. No longer do my fingers get fatigued from having to press keys harder than others.

I should also add that the RK-9100 has half-decent back-lighting and has a 2-port USB hub on it. I like everything about this keyboard.

With said said, since you clearly seem opposed to mechanical switch keyboards so I'll recommend the keyboard I used prior to the RK-9100 which was the Logitech Wave, but it seems to be out of stock on both NewEgg and Amazon, so I'm not sure if it was recently discontinued or not.

Also, if I may ask, why do you say Gaming or mechanical keyboard in the title, but then say no mechanical keyboard in the body? Are you trying to find out how many people don't read the first post? If anything is retarded, it is that. :)

Any ideas what to try next? Let's stick to mechanicals.
No need for backlight.
No need for czech layout, I can buy stickers (or possibly have the caps made).
Long left shift is still required.
Price range: under €90 (because it would most probably be over 100 in this shit country)

Take a look at these:

I feel your pain man! Does Logitech not make Czech keyboards? (I found no confirmation of this on their CZ website.) Or national brands?

Just as a painkiller for you, maybe, we are 500 millions of native Spanish speaking people in the world, but DasKeyboard makes no keyboard for us, but does for German (ok) and the lost NORDIC tribes, WTF??? Also Corsair has not released its latest offers with ES layout. Are these companies obsessed with Mexican aliens issues or wtf? They are ignoring a huge market!
