Well, I need a new keyboard since I sent my Sidewinder X6 back to Amazon, and I'd like my next to be my first mechanical.
I'm on a sort of budget as I do not want to spend too much on a keyboard. Plus my parents won't allow me to.
I was looking at the Razer Blackwidow. If I do buy it, it'll be from Amazon again as in the UK they give you a free years warranty that isn't stated on the website for electronics.
It will be UK layout as that's what I'm used to.
Will this be a good choice?

Welcome to Geek Hack Mitch,
My personal advice is to go to the wiki (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Geekhack+WorldWide+Shopping+Links) and check the stores, prices and models available (remember to check it is the 105 UK layout), then pick a couple of keyboard you are interested, and let us know between which ones you would like us to advice you ;)

I've been lurking the forums for a few days now, and I've read pretty much every wiki on here :P
Does the space +alt keys affect many Blackwidows?
