    Hey guys,

    Anyone know where to buy US layout keyboard in UK? I use US layout and cant seem to find decent keyboard that has US layout. Any EU sites that might have it and deliver to UK?

    No price range, i want to see all options available. Mechanical will be good. Really need US Layout with the @ sign on Shift + 2 and a rectangular enter key.
    Full size will be good but i don't mind without numpad.

    I think US layout is also used in the Netherlands, so any site from there that can deliver to UK would be good too.

    Sorry but the UK layout is the worse layout out of all the keyboards out there.

    Its not even symmetrical so I'm not even sure how a slow typer like me is going to get used to a shit layout.

    I bought the CoolerMaster CMStorm QuickFire TK (Cherry MX Brown)
    http://www.cmstore.eu/cm-storm/keyboards/quickfire-tk-cherry-mx-brown-switch/
    Total cost (including VAT and Shipping to UK via UPS):
    €107.03 EUR
    £81.38 GBP

    Luckily I wanted US layout and Brown switches and they were doing just that on their EU store site. I think the numpad is what really made me buy it and the price being less than 100 quid for a full backlit mechanical.

    It's being shipped from Netherlands, will receive on Wednesday. Thanks for the help guys.

    Finding the right English layout is hard enough and I really doubt you would even find Arabic keycaps to replace the default keycaps. Most gaming keyboards have custom key sizes too.
    You could probably buy small Arabic alphabet stickers but it would probably get messy with use and wont support backlight.

    Dam this keyboard is bright!
