What to buy?

So I just sold a spare motherboard. I now have a fair bit of money. I want a new keyboard, one with the romer-g keyswitches, as I tried it at worst buy and they felt nice.

But I also need a heated bed for my 3D printer. I have a gaming PC I built with spare parts, and this will be more than enough to pay for a new keyboard and printbed, but what should I do for now?

I have ~140$ to spend. Keyboard has to light up red.

The only keyboards with the Romer-G switches are the Logitech G910 and the ten-keyless variant. They're a Logitech exclusive.

@iamdarkyoshi If it's the sale price on Newegg you're looking at, I'd jump on it if you want the keyboard really badly. The sale won't last long before it goes back to $179. You could also go to Best Buy and price match.

They would, since it's sold and shipped by Newegg. Lots of those deals are third-party, and they won't price match to that. Call ahead and ask if they will before you leave, so you don't waste your time.

Worst buy is a quick drive from my house, I will likely just head over there as I hate calling people

Check other stores. My Wall Mart stocks it, and they price match. If all else fails, just buy it from Newegg before it sells out.
