tl;dr - Need a cheap black keyboard with green backlit keys. Suggestions?
____________________________________
Just moved in to my college dorm and I discovered that everything on my desk matches to a black and lime green theme (TV, phone, Xbox Slim, headset, controllers, desk lamp, laptop, mouse). Although this was originally unintentional, I decided I'd stick with the theme for the rest of my room planning.
Now, with everything I have on my desk and the way it is orientated in the room, I have to place my laptop on the far right side of the desk so that it doesn't cover up any of the TV. Of course, this leaves no room for my mouse (and I don't want to use it on the left side of my keys).
So, my solution was to get a separate keyboard (either wired or wireless, it doesn't matter all that much) to place in the middle of my desk to use it alongside my mouse. That way, I'd have my 32" hooked up to my laptop on the left, my laptop screen on the right, and the keyboard and mouse between the two.
So, to keep with the theme, I'd like the best value black keyboard with green backlit keys possible. I don't need any special gaming specifications, as any gaming would be done without my desktop extended to my TV (and therefore I can move the laptop to the middle of the desk). Just a black keyboard with green backlight.
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks. ^.^

Don't own it, the reviews look nice, except I'm reading that it is a little cramped (small shift buttons and backspace button). It's damn cheap too! I've been searching for 10 minutes and this is my first find that fits your description. If you want, I can look more but this looks pretty good to me.
Hope I helped! -
I know you want cheap, but I'm just putting this out there.
You might want to check out the Deck Legend. It is a mechanical keyboard using Cherry MX Black key switches. Mechanical keyboards are considered the best keyboards you can buy, because of their superior keystroke motion, durability, and typing "feel".
And the Deck Legend even comes in your choice of LED color (including green). I bought a Deck Legend about 5 years ago. It is the last keyboard I ever expect to buy.

Na dont go Deck, look at the Zibal 60

Seems those @ geekhack have some bad experience with Deck so I cant recommend them. Plus the Zibal 60 has more features and is cheaper.
