UK Standard Layout Mechanical Keyboard

[Treboren]

As you can see from the title I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with the standard UK layout. I would also would like it backlit. I have only tried red switches and I did like them however I am most interested in brown switches. It doesn't have to be a completely standard layout, however nothing too different.(these are just guidelines).  Would be grateful for any suggestions.

Ebuyer Scan and Novatech are good options, if you live near a Novatech they can order any keyboard you want in

A good one to check out is the Gigabyte Aivia Osmium, I got it for £110 off amazon a couple of months ago, red switches, backlit. :-)

Corsair has a full line of UK layout keyboards.

 

Being from the US i just don't see how people can use that small of a SHIFT key on the left side.  But then again they grow up using that keyboard layout.

I got used to the US layout. Been using it since I was a wee lad. Can't understand why you need a giant enter key and have a small shift.

You could look at a QPad MK-80(or 85). These can be ordered from QPad with your choice of switch, and come in UK layout as well. The 80 has blue backlighting, and the 85, red. I'm typing on a Brown MK-80 at the moment, and it's solid. Build quality is excellent, etc. There's also  Logitech's G710+ to consider.

Try the CoolerMaster Trigger Storm but buy it from Amazon or any Uk website or retailer to get the UK layout. I bought mine from Overclockers.co.uk to get the UK layout with black switches. I think you can get them in any switch you like though.
