Well since you have a lot of Razer stuff and you don't mind the clickiness of blue switches, you should get the Blackwidow Ultimate 2013. If you don't know what switches are the best for you, I recommend getting that tester thingy with all the switches for a few bucks on eBay.

OMFG YOU'VE GOT A TESLA S! I'M SO JEALOUS!

 

Anyway.... Stoks aren't going to do much with 250 dollars.

I would buy just some random stuff.

I assume you have a phone , get this maybe : 

http://dbrand.com/

I've got the white carbon fiber and i'm totally happy with it , it really has texture ( A nice one too ) And it doesn't stain :P

Also maybe if you smoke or something an electronic vape? 

Food?

A laser?

 

Things like that . It's proven that those kind of ''impulls'' things give the most hapiness when purchasing something :P
