There aren't really any full sets you can buy in the UK.. at least not nice ones. Is the keyboard an ANSI or ISO layout?

I've bought stuff from WASDkeyboards (their shipping isn't too bad but there is much better stuff out there), feng (a geekhack member who sells stuff on ebay, very quick shipping) and QWERkeys which is the UK.

Ansi
Oh that's good. There are plenty of nice keycaps you can get for that, however you just can't get very many nice full sets from within the UK. I would recommend a set from originativeco.com (site is currently down). They have very nice sets made by GMK & BSP (generally considered the nicest MX keycaps available anywhere).

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

MAX keyboard sets have OEM packaging which is cheap to the uk.
