I've got a quickfire TK in the UK, what variations should I get? I'm guessing UK set and also calc but I don't know...

Warp00Most (all?) CM keyboards use a 6.5 spacebar rather than 6.25 or 7, I own a Quickfire TK myself also - there's no SA mold for 6.5 spacebars so you're going to have to improvise, some other sets (not SA/DSA) come with 6.5 space bars so probably have to try your luck and find a grey/white/blue one somewhere belonging to another set or make do with the stock QFTK black one (that'd look a bit silly with a set such as this though unfortunately).
The CM's bottom row is also nonstandard because of that so you'd have to figure out which mods pack(s) fit it, I have one set that I use with it and one set only for that reason, too much of a hassle to deck it out - someone more knowledgeable than I can maybe chime in with which you'd need. Alphas, modifiers, calculus and UK you'd need for sure though, the rest is what you'd be wary of.

Warp00Cheers mate!
For your keyboard (QFTK ISO) you will need the following kits:
Alphas of your choice + Modifiers + UK Kit + Calculus
EDIT: But have in mind that we don not offer a 6.5u space bar here.
You could also add Novelties if you want, but that's not essential.
Let me know if you need more help man, have a nice Saturday!

MiToThanks so much! If I was to get a standard layout UK 108 key keyboard (MX Clears or Browns) that I can fit this on, what would you recommend? And what would I then need? :)

Warp00Do you mean a standard full size ISO keyboard?
Well I'm not a big fan of Topre but there are many people who really love the Novatouch (there's an ISO version, but I read somewhere that it was discontinued, perhaps somebody else could confirm this).
You'd need the same kit I mentioned prior, that's enough for all of the standard ISO full-size boards.
Let me know if you need further help dude!

MiToSpeaking of novatouch, would alphas, modifiers and novelties cover it? I've never gone for a keycap set but this is awesome looking.

MiToI think the Novatouch suffers from the same problems as the QFTK and other CM boards do right? The whole 6.5 spacebar ordeal, I own one but haven't swapped the set I use with it for a while (don't use the board much with the other options I have nowadays). It's a shame they haven't converted to a fully standardized bottom row yet, feels wasteful to own a coolermaster keyboard at this point if you're a keycap aficionado. (unless they have made the switch and I'm not aware of it, haven't followed their stuff in a while).
For what it's worth I believe every version of the NT are discontinued at this point unfortunately, as of every recently, not 100% though and I'm sure many physical/internet stores still have them in stock.

VigrithThe Novatouch TKL has a standard bottom row (6.25u and 1.25u) as far as I know, am I missing something here?
Yes, I believe it was discontinued and won't be making a comeback.

Warp00Also, I messed up an information.
The QFTK has a 6.5u space bar which can't be manufactured in the SA profile, therefore Godspeed is not completely compatible with that keyboard.
Read my previously reply, I made a correction.
Thanks a lot for the observation @Vigrith.

MiToThe above pictured I edited into my post is a size map of the Quickfire TK (ANSI), I'm not sure whether or not that's been updated but my late 2013 (I believe) model definitely has a 6.5 bar and non-standard bottom row, the Novatouch might not - I'd compare both boards to make sure but I'm currently not home.
Not sure if their ISO has different sizes or if they've been updated as I said though.
Edit: Yea, haven't found a key map but looking at pictures it most definitely looks as though the Novatouch sports a fully standardized bottom row which is great, hopefully means future boards by CM rock the same layout.

Your observation is definitely correct.

VigrithNo the Novatouch has a standard bottom row with 6.25u space. CM moved to a completely standard bottom row across all of their product lines beginning with the QF Rapid, so Rapid-i, Novatouches and Masterkeys all have standard mods row

Warp00Filco MJ2, Ducky One or Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L are all full-size keyboards that has ISO layout available and easily found in the UK

blackcatdownYes, although the TK still has a 6.5u spacebar all of the other ones are indeed standard.

blackcatdownOh that's great! As said I haven't been keeping up with their newer models post circa 2013 so wasn't aware. I'm glad they converted to a fully standardized layout to cater to enthusiasts, definitely a pain to deck out a QFTK sadly.
De nada bro! @MiTo

blackcatdownWould Ducky Channel Shine 5 be OK? I presume I'd just need alphas, calculus and UK pack?

blackcatdownI love the key set and the keyboard but I then have to spend at least £100 on the board and £141 on the key caps...
On the plus side it would look AMAZING

Warp00For your Ducky you gonna need:
Alphas + Modifiers + Calculus + UK
You can add the Novelties if you want extra style, but they aren't mandatory.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, it's a pleasure to help!
