The Corsair K70 has most things you are looking for but I am not completely sure if it has a removable cable.

The k70 is looking promising, the reason for the removable cable is due to travelling often and gaming in various places and all keyboards have broken due to stress on the cable.

The only one I can think of is the CM Trigger board http://www.cmstorm.c...boards/trigger/


 


It has all the features you need although I can't comment on the shape of the rest compared to that sidewinder. I personally prefer the Quickfire, but that has no wristrest I believe, or the Corsair K70 with blue switches, but that has no detachable cable.


 


EDIT


That said the K70 has a high quality braided cable


Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

The quality of the braided cable won't be an issue if it is detachable.

The Trigger-Z would have a closer look to the sidewinder x4 as well, if black is your flavour.
