Which CM Storm keyboards have a standard front row?

See subject. My brother wants to buy a CM Storm mech, but is there one with a standard layout (other than the novatouch)?

So the ones with a non standard layout are the Quickfire TKs?

sure thing, CM may have more like CM MECH, CM Ultimate... If you want something standard, something that you can buy keycap easily on GH, you should get either CM Quick Fire Rapid, CM Quick Fire Stealth, CM Quick Fire XT, CM Quick Fire Trigger, Filco MJ2, Ducky Shine 3 or something similar.

The most recent Rapid-i backlit model is also using standard 1.25 modifiers and 6.25 spacebar. They seem to be priced about the same as the older non backlight Rapid.

Their space bars is what threw me off on the Quickfire Pro TK with Red Switches.. I really wanted to customize the keycaps on it when I had it. Though the space bar is definitely a bit longer.
