Looks like 1.5+1+1.5+6+1.5+1+1+1.5 .

A little odd layout, but not as bad as Corsair =P

Just some more info:
The most usual layouts here are:
1.25+1.25+1.25+6.25+1.25+1.25+1.25+1.25
1.5+1+1.5+7+1.5+1+1.5
So the latter would suit your board better, but the spacebar won't fit (and you'll have to find another small 1u key).

EDIT: Seems like it's a center mounted 6u spacebar too, which seems a little unusual (according to DeskThority wiki)

This image is not ISO UK, its pretty much ANSI with a non-standard bottom row (I think).

If you're not 100% sure it's best to get out your ruler and check the measurements  :thumb:

The problem is the non-standard bottom row (Ctrl, Win, Alt, FN/Menu and the Spacebar) on razor and corsair k-boards.


You need a standard bottom row size: Ctrl, Win, Alt and FN/Menu = 1x1.25.
Spacebar = 1x6.25.


Second row in the link (Ducky, Das, Deck, WASD + some more k-boards) shows a standard bottom row size.

A pic of my 2 Ducky k-boards, the white  Ducky One RGB YOTG is a ANSI layout, the black Ducky Shine 3 is a ISO/Nordic layout.
Both with a standard bottom row.



Here is maybe somerhing from Max:

This keycaps set is ANSI - ISO/UK layout in the same set.


The ISO/UK Enter + left Shift keycaps (+ 2 of the 3 Spacebars) in the Max set. The orange Pumkin cap don't belong to the Max set.
