Both look like a normal ansi layout with 1.25 bottom row. You should be fine. The only problem is trying to figure out what mounting points that space bar has and if it's compatible with the set you want.
No, he’s not around. How that sound to ya? Jot it down.

The keyboard you're looking at buying (or have bought?) has the keys above the arrow cluster shifted down one row compared to their usual positions. There are 5 extra top row keys compared to most keyboards. The ins/home/pgup and del/end/pgdn keys will have the wrong profile, so they will have a different angle from the main block of keys next to them.

The 5 keys at the right of the top row are not standard keys, and there are not caps for them in the set. You could cover most of those keys with the top of the numpad (numlock, *, /, -), or any other extra top two row keys that come in your set, but it's very unlikely that you will find caps that match those symbols.

None of these mean that the sets won't physically work, but they might not be everything you're hoping for.

ok thank you for the replies and the help provided, for what I see my keyboard it's only going to be problematic to get what I want.

So, starting from the begining, it would be possible to buy in Europe a PCB of 87 keys with incorporated switches? I can do the case. Thanks.
