Mechanical Keyboard Help?

I am looking for a mechanical keyboard (with a numpad if possible) that is in the UK Layout, with Cherry MX Blue Switches and hopefully a detachable cable included. I have not seen many around from some retailers and I'm not too sure where to look. I do not need RGB but if i had to chose a backlight it would be blue or none. I am wanting to replace my current Corsair K70 because i don't like some of the features that are included and it has key chatter which is quite annoying for me. I'm also not looking for the whole "Gaming aesthetic" that a lot of mechanical keyboards have nowadays, I am hoping maybe to bring a mechanical keyboard to school so that doing my computing courses would be more enjoyable. :D

I don't think they have the Masterkeys series in UK layout..

You're looking for the upside down L-shaped enter like this right:

Most gaming keyboard have US layout (ANSI).

No they don't meet my requirements sadly. The K70 has the ANSI layout and tbh i don't really like it.

Maybe the Ducky Shine 6 is a good option? I saw an ISO layout board on Amazon UK. RGB lighting, removable (micro USB) cable, other than the sides of the board not too gamer-y.

 

(one of the few Cherry MX Blue keyboards I can get here.. this might be my next keyboard... It's somewhat expensive though and I would have rather have TKL)

I would say it's a good choice to be but i think it would unwise to bring a keyboard to school at that price range, also RGB isn't an accessory i would like to get as of now. I am trying to aim for a black and blue setup theme as well.
