Help finding a mechanical keyboard

[miniyazz]

Having spent the last 4hrs trying (and failing) to find a suitable mechanical keyboard I'm hoping for some help..

Essentially I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard with a proper UK layout (full height enter key and a '\' between the 'left shift' and 'z'. Oh and a full length backspace key (two normal keys).

The only other essential is backlighting which needs to have the option of being subtle and off, preferably hardware controlled (switch on the keyboard) although not essential.

This will be predominantly for typing as I don't game that much with a keyboard (mostly just non-FPS and using an xbox controller - I'm lazy ) so although I've not tried any out in person I expect Cherry MX Brown are the best key type for me (I gather Blue are pretty noisy).

Currently I can't tell if I'm ruling a lot of keyboards out due to US standard keyboard layouts in the photo when they may actually ship with 'UK' layouts..

That's the trouble - none of the photos are updated with the actual keyboard! Incredible when keyboards vary so much and it's crucial what they look like..

As it happens I have just bought a Logitech 710+ from a guy on the MM - again this was one I'd discounted because all the pictures showed half height enter keys but his had a proper layout. So thanks for the suggestions, I hope it'll do the job

Glad to hear all your keyboards are UK layout. The Ducky Shine looks good and minimalist would suit but it's a lot of money for some fancy backlighting that would just distract me unless I turned the fancy stuff off. Anyway like I say I bought a Logitech G710+ 2nd hand from andybtsn which should be arriving soon
