Well, initially I asked them if they could send me an enter key replacement, but obviously I got so much more than that. So they sent me a french version of the G19 keyboard and I wrote back to them and informed them that I had recieved the wrong language on my keyboard, and would like a nordic one.

I propably shouldn't post this but I have gotten like 5 new Mice from Logitech free of charge by simply saying "My mouse broke".

I think I got 4x MX518 from them and when they didn't have any more they sent me a G400 which is the successor of it.

Just fake a receipt löl

Or buy one, show that receipt with edited date, get a new keyboard and return the one you bought?

For the switch types, best things to to go bang on some local ones at a store, and see.

If you cant do that, only thing is to lookup the switches, like here for example is a good place to start:
http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanical-keyboard-guide#post_6009482

And eliminate the ones you know you don't want. Like if you don't want the hard bump and click sound, or if you don't want the totally smooth action (no bump OR click) some can be quite loud, while others make no noise at all, but give no 'tactile feedback'. ...not to mention the pressure needed to push the key down, now you wont be needing to lean into with your shoulder to do any of them, haha, but some are a lot stiffer than others, and is noticeable when typing for long periods as 'not feeling quite how you'd like it'.

Mostly the thing to be concerned with is if you have a noise concern, since a few of the types almost sound like an old typewriter CLACK CLACK CLACK, sort of like the old school 'bucking spring' IBM keyboards if you ever heard one of them.
Like me, when I got one I was like well its loud over here anyway, and dont really care if its quiet, and i really like the feedback of a solid click letting me know I activated the keypress..then after a week of having the blues, I was getting really tired of playing a game and spamming WASD and it sounding like I was driving over a roll of bubblewrap at 70mph..When to some other people they probably wouldn't even notice/care about that noise.

NOW if you want the well defined feedback 'bump/click' and not quite as loud, can get o-ring mods for it, little rubber ring that you put under each key..the click still clicks as loud, but it stop the bottoming out hollow thump sound afterward.

I cant really suggest a good one for you, since it's totally a personal preference.you could ask "whats a good one to get" and 10 people will give you 11 different types to get..haha Some will go "get blue, they rock!" others will go "screw blue, they are horrible, get red all day long!"

Well that's kinda hard, since (when it comes to hardware stores) i live in the middle of fucking nowhere..
But i saw that post indeed, and got my eye on either Black, Blue or Red ones.
Tho blue ones might be shitty for gaming when i need to double tab.
