It's not a Swedish site but I guess you're long enough in Germany to order a keyboard? Anyway you can stil use the Google translation. ;-]

couldn't you just ask someone who lives in .se (parents of the accused keyboard destructor for instance?) to buy one and ship it to you?

yeah, thats the last option but i'd rather not take that route cos honestly the kb I want is like �10 so the shipping will probably be more than the kb itself hah :D is there really no swedish site that ships outside of Sweden?

You know, a few years back my terminally ill cat puked in my keyboard. It was VERY liquid and got everywhere inside (even inbetween the multiple plastic layers used for contacts).
It took me a day but I revived the keyboard.

You should've gotten Purri to clean it up. :P

Yeah this kb has been a real trooper too but I guess this time it was one sweet, sticky new year drink too much for the keys to take :(

I pulled it apart and busted out the hair dryer but some of the keys are still sticking :(

I'm impressed though, it lasted many other spills and its one of those shitty �7 ones from ON/OFF :D

I think its more about the quality of meat. Most people I know get the kebab plate with fries, not the rolles or the ones in bread :D

depends for me. If I get something for dinner/lunch I will of get the plate, but in that case usually Gyros (the greek variant, most awesome baked in the oven with metaxa sauce, which is also quite easy to make yourself, but I digress).

If it's getting one while shopping or while going out or from the way back after clubbing than it's usually a kebab with bread. Care more about the sauces than the type of bread in that case, though :)

If you're really looking for a cheap keyboard, buy a German one and use a Swedish input layout.

german layout sucks for quake and here's why:

there's the shitty "< > |"-key between Y and SHIFT which fucks up the nice ESDF configuration most people use these days and cannot be bound in quakelive (worked in quake3). i usually cba to even use CTRL and SHIFT ingame anymore :(/

just wash it.

I'm dead serious, a lot of keyboards can even survive being put through dishwashers, in fact, a dishwasher would be better for it as it softens the water so limescale/crap isn't left when it dries. unless you already live in a soft water area, that is.

I never encountered any problems with esdf with any keyboard I've used for the past ten or so years I've been using that setup.

logitech flat somethingorother is a popular choice I've heard, which you should be able to find in most electronic stores.
