Dell RT7D50

I have accidentally posted the same thread in off topic, but mods are too busy at the moment to move it to this category. excuse my indulgence to post it twice

while typing away my prelab for ECE2031, I found the keyboard on the dell machine in the ECE lab is actually pretty nice. as much as I have no respect for dell, this keyboard is pretty much what I have been looking for :

-has a good soft (but not mushy) feel for keystrokes
-seems fast enough
-small and light enough to be luggable

I was hoping I could find a keyboard without those stupid minisized keys that I could put in my backpack to carry around in my laptop. Not only this keyboard would serve well for that purpose, it does feel somewhat better than the one I am using with my desktop. Although I have not tried any gaming on this keyboard, I always played well on my roomates another dell keyboard.

So the question is, did anyone happened to know who makes this keyboard or where I could purchase one online? The only places I came up with googling are ebay ($5ish used, $10 shipping) and dell online shop ($40ish + shipping). Thanks in advance.

It is made by the Silitek division of LiteOn and may be sold under the LiteOn name here too. SK-8115
. Most of the LiteOn standard keyboards have a similar feel. Newegg has several models.

Grrr.

I have been seeing the same keyboard and it has never shown on Dell's web site when I check. I tried calling Dell and the lady (in India) couldn't find it in her system. I called back and tried the option for replacement parts. A different lady, also from India, answered the phone. When I couldn't give a service tag #, she insisted on transfering me to the sales department which I had already said could not help me. When I tried to explain, she just hung up on me.
