Ok, so i'm on a tight budget and will buy this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CITN98G/?tag=pcp0f-21 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CITN98G/?tag=pcp0f-21). I've seen in many places that it has low profile keycaps, if this is true can they be replaced with just keycaps in general? like will they fit? This is probably a REALLY stuid question but i've never had a mechanical keyboard before.

They can be replaced by any keycaps with MX stems, which are the most common type. You will have a lot of keycap sets to choose from.

The CapsLock and spacebar are not fit.

What do you mean?

Welcome to Geekhack!
My guess would be (to the above interpretation) that the space bar has non-standard stem spacing, and probably the keyboard has off-centre-stem caps lock (most modern ANSI winkey layouts have centre-stem caps lock).

First of all, thank you. Second of all even though the picutre on that is ANSI its actually an ISO (uk) one.

i own this keyboard (uk layout) and its fine with the low profile caps its great and not to claky so perfect to use in a office for work which is where i use mine i would leave the stock low proifle caps on it as it will look stupid with taller caps on
id say its a good board but not for gaming (can be used for gamin with out issue) but its more of a productive keyboard for work!
you can get coolermaster cm storm quickfire keybaord on amazon for about teh same price btw ( more of a gaming keyboard if that what your after but ye for a office go with the cherry its a great board)

ISO/ANSI - most have centre stem caps lock (except Korean customs).
