I much prefer ANSI over ISO, I can't deal with the tiny left shift

Same here! Needing to use google/character map for a pound sign does annoy me, but when gaming, it more than makes up for it.

Which one did you go for?
I've recently just got the Ducky Shine 3 in white/black with blue cherry mx switches, lovely board
My new ducky arrived today also, the orange LED one, with red switches.
Only got to open it up over lunch before i headed back to work, but my god the build quality is unreal, it feels so nice, and the feel of the swtiches was nice, can't wait to get it plugged in and play around with the light settings.
Thanks OcUK!

With the (mostly)positive comments being made about 'Mechanical' decided to give it a go - upgraded from a Logitech G510 to a Gigabyte Osmium and have added O-rings (btw do NOT believe anyone who says it only takes 30 mins to install the rings - took me 90mins
)
Great build quality , nice lighting and , once I added the O-rings, quiet. Certainly feels more positive and better quality than the Logitech although only time will tell if the quality is as good as I believe.
Price from here was £79.95 + 9.99 for the rings - total cost of just under £90 - Excellent !

After a new keyboard very soon. Anybody had experience with the Corsair k95 or k70, would love to hear some feedback.

Does adding o-rings not make it feel like a rubber dome kb if your keys are then bottoming out on rubber? I wouldn't mind trying it, but i'm not paying £5 to find out they are not for me. Think i'll have a root through my man drawer..
The RGB LED versions are due fairly soon.
I am seriously tempted to go for the K70 with brown switches.

No tkl?
They'll probably update the K65 with a backlit version for the next update and then the version after that go RGB

Not to me - they remain positive and do make a muffled click when they bottom out. What goes is the harsh metalic 'click'
I would add that my view might be different for as different keyboard or the same keyboard but with different switches(mine are red)
Best option is , as you say you will, give it a try - you only need the one ring 
Any idea what the expected price will be for those? The current K70 is selling for around $130 and £110. The new one is said to be $169, do you think this will make it ~£140. If this is true it is going to be too expensive for me. And I only really want white back lighting.
That's a pretty huge "if" with Corsair's pricing

I think Corsair are getting Greedy.
as an educated guess, i think the corsair is going to be very expensive.
