Whats peoples opinions on using a US set out keyboard in the UK, I bought this keyboard a few weeks back it does everything i want it to do, the only real difference i see is the @ and " symbols are swapped around and the £ that is shift+3 has the # on it instead and the # symbol is on the button just below the backspace key, ive used american keyboards before in the uk and after a few days it becomes second nature. ive taken some pics for you to look at.
in the box you get keyboard, a magnetic wrist rest, 2 spare key switches(which is the first time i have seen this) and a pair of large tweezers to pull of the key caps, it says the switches are 1st G switches and or KAILH mechanical switches, im not sure whether they come with both or they can be either i cant make out what it says on the two spare switches.
niose wise they give a satifying click when pressed but as loud as my old keyboard which the wife said sounded like them old joke wind up teeth you could buy from a joke shop, she prefers the noise of this one much more. id say probably a kailh brown switch for comparison.
you can customise the red glow on the keyboard by pressing the FN and 6 buttons to the right of the enter key above the arrow keys, these include breathing, pulse, one where you press a key and it lights up, and one that does a zigzag line across the keyboard, it also has a gamer mode where the wasd and arrow keys are the only lit ones, and you can also choose which keys you want to light in the custom mode.
im sorry its a bit long winded but it cost me about 60 dollars around £45, ive had thier products before, infact my sons pc is still running one of thier 650w PSU's from about 4 years back without any issues so i know thier stuff is good quality... anyway i;ll post a few pics and if anyone wants to look on amazon i'll get the link for it if its allowed on here
