UK layout (105 Key) with backlit Cherry MX greens...

[xXDeltaXx]

Hi, the title pretty much sums it up:

 

UK layout (105 Key) mechanical keyboard with backlit Cherry MX greens... is it a unicorn, or am I not looking hard enough...?

 

I have the CODE keyboard (104 key layout / US spec) with backlit Cherry MX Green switches - I need another keyboard for a second PC, but don't want to be left on a US layout / don't want to loose the backlighting.

 

Any ideas...? Have e-mailed WASD to ask if they'll get round to adding a backlight to the WASD V2 range, or 105 key layout to the CODE range  - will see what they respond with.

 

I cannot be the only one that wants this combo... (actually, I'm not - I know @skullbringer is also interested in this type of combo)

Aren't Greens Razer only? And very similar to Blues?

Maybe just look for some UK Blue keyboards.

Such as the K70 or something?

Managed to find a Ducky with MX Green's and white backlighting. Bit on the expensive side, though. But MX Green's are generally a little bit more expensive than more common switches.

This purchase from ATFX Systems is UK layout if anyone was wondering, it is not entirely obvious from the listing.

Cheery MX Green switches are a heavier version of the MX Blue. 80g actuation force instead of 50g that MX Blue's has.

Nice find. I start to get a little worried when they only show the US format in pictures - since I didn't think about it when I bought this CODE keyboard... then I opened the box...

I'll join in with this, as I would like an MX green keyboard in UK layout as well, which seems to be rather difficult.

 

Overclockers have got the ducky shine 4 with MX greens in a UK layout, although it is pricy http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-141-DK

The MX green stem is very similar, but SLIGHTLY different than the MX blue stem, btw.  Putting a MX blue spring into a MX green does NOT turn the green into a blue! (exactly).  Of course any difference could be to differences in wear, so for all intents and purposes they could be the same.  But there seemed to be a slightly more protruding "nub" on a green.

From WASD support:

 

We actually are looking into offering CODE keyboards with ISO layouts in the future. No specific dates or details to announce yet, but stay tuned.

Aside from that, the CODE is pretty much built to be a V2 with backlighting so I hope it will fit all of your needs.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

So, we never know...
