Any recommendations on mechanical keyboards with 105-key UK layout? WASD Keyboards and the Das keyboard come in the layout but what I really want is something cheaper like the Leopold Tenkeyless Brown in the layout.

gently caress, you guys have it easy when it comes to mechanical keyboards. It's a nightmare in the UK. I'm trying to hunt down something with MX Browns on the cheaper end of the scale (say, £50-60) and it's a total nightmare.

:(:hf::(

The Leopold Tenkeyless with Browns seems cheap but I can't find a UK layout for it.

The Filco Ninja Majestouch-2 Tenkeyless is £120 and is probably the cheapest good one I've found.

Why the hell would you exchange @ and double quote? Do you guys not use double quotes that much?

In British English it's more popular to use single quote marks instead of double.

Also the US layout is stupid. :colbert:

Is it? I was taught to use double quotes at school, and single quotes for speech within speech.

Working in books I would definitely say so. Ultimately it's down to the author or publisher's style but it's very common for them to use single quotes here.
