I need a new keyboard as I am missing a key and I just want a back lit one now.
Currently I have a dell sk-8115 that looks just like this.

What I really like about this keyboard is that there really is no extra stuff. I don't want a keyboard with that 2 inch palm rest below the space bar or with any macro keys. Just a standard 104 key.
I also really like the extended height of the spacebar, it allows me to find it easier while typing and I don't need to angle my thumb to press it. The tactile response is pretty good. I hear a medium noise click, but it can be soft if I am typing slow. It also has a pretty good amount of stiffness but not to stiff like some old school keyboards. I like the thinner enter key for some reason, whenever I type on a keyboard with the extended one, it feels funny.
If possible I would like a backlit version of this keyboard, but I don't think they make them.
Budget: $70 about, but it really doesn't matter too much, if I see one that is too expensive I just wont buy it.
Mechanical: No preference, but if it isn't I don't want it to be a super soft, noiseless keyboard, preferably one that feels mechanical.
Num pad: Prefer to have one, but I will let it go if it is the perfect keyboard besides that.
Spacebar: I really want an extended one, I might make an exception, but not likely. As well as the start, and alt keys that are extended on this model.
Ergonomics: I don't really like them, especially the extended palm rests.
Enter key: Preferably not an extended one.
Layout: US layout
Wired: Yes
Use: mainly web surfing typing and moderate gaming, but not RTS so key lag isn't a big issue.
Backlit: Yes, no real color preference. But light up keys might be the better term for what I want.
Sorry for being so picky :/ but I do really like this one. Thank you for the help in advance.
