So I'm at a brick wall here. I've been looking for a scissor key, illuminated, wired, spaced F keys, comes WITH a numpad, and at least a 4NKRO. I realize these keyboards aren't typically made for "gaming", and I'm not looking for macro keys so one would think it shouldn't be that tough. When I say gaming I mean ANY keyboard that fits this description and doesn't have ghosting issues.
So far in my travels I have come across a few, and I shall list them below.
Eclipse Litetouch: Key positioning is way off, touch screen numpad is a gimmick and renders my right hand of the keyboard useless. No spacing between F keys. The arrow keys, delete, home, etc. are all mashed together as they tried to fit it in a compact manner. I even wrote a review on amazon after purchasing it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member..._pr_auth_rev?ie=UTF8&sort_by=MostRecentReview
So that's out of the question. (It's my current keyboard)
Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin: Seemed like the best choice, but after further investigating I see that ghosting issues plague this keyboard. W + Shift + Space = No Go, which means I am not interested in this keyboard.
Logitech DiNovo: Owned this one, gave it away. Key ghosting...sigh.
Logitech Wireless Solar Powered: Not illuminated, not wired. Bleh.
I'm not a fan of the chiclet key style (like the ones apple keyboards have) so I didn't bother with those.
I'm out of ideas on where to go here. Do they just not make what I want? Can there really be no market for this? I'm at a standstill here, so any help is appreciated.

edit 2: I think I'm just going to go with the Luxeed http://www.luxeed.com/estore/product.php?id_product=43 There's even a numpad attachment. I don't get the F key spacing but I can't find any better.
