Need advice on a keyboard

I admit this isn't Kodi related - it's for my primary PC, but I hoped you guys had some advice.

I'm looking for a regular wired USB keyboard for my PC. I don't want to have to pay $100+, but I will if I find something perfect. Here is what I want (picky, I know):

* clicky (mechanical not necessary, just not chicklets)

* USB port to plug in mouse

* backlit (programmable with colors is cool, but not necessary)

* sleep/wake key functionality for Windows

* if AT ALL POSSIBLE, the big Delete key like on the HP keyboards

OK guys...have at it (please) ! ! !
