I think you'll find someone on nearly every night during the week.

I've been using http://www.dlp108.com/theater-systems/p ... board.html for a long time now. Its a really sick keyboard and quite cheap. Best keyboard I've come across without the 'flat' keys that a lot of keyboard seem to have these days. Well worth having imo

No its not, look at the @ and # character locations :wink:

I believe that pic is of a US layout where the @ is on the 2 key.

Ok, I've opted for the Cherry G85-23000GB-2 ...time will tell if it was the right choice (it definitely has the UK standard layout though!).
