In the picture it shows a US layout, is there a UK layout version? I have been looking for a mechanical keyboard with brown/blue switches for the past week and every keyboard image I seem to look at it seems to be in the US layout. Am I going mad or are there any out there with a UK layout or have people just been lazy and used the US images for their shop pictures?

Yours is the black switch version.

The brown is the Stealth which is just US at the moment.

Just had confirmation from Razer that they are looking at doing a UK layout but they don't have an ETA. So what are my other choices?

Preferably brown switches, UK layout is a must, backlit would be great but not a necessity.

If you want brown switches, and a UK layout, Filco do very good brown switch keyboards. I think the Majestouch 2?

Also, the razer blackwidow keyboards use MX Blue switches not black, apart from the mentioned Stealth edition which makes the change to brown.

My bad I thought they used the blacks. Reviewed that many keyboards it's hard to keep track.

Any ETA on the Stealth Edition now ?

Razer are USELESS at giving info.

It's a pretty simple question...yet I can't get any kind of answer out of them about it at all. If it's definitely going to happen I will hold on and buy a UK edition of the Ultimate stealth. If not..I'll look elsewhere.

can't understand why it is taking so long.
