Looks ANSI to me. That's a "Bigass" enter key, so it's not ISO. The shifts are the proper size as well.


Edit: Also, that's a great price for a 6+KRO ALPS board to try. I may grab one.

Who wants to start a SP GB for arrow and WASD keys to replace the awful ones?
Hmm, I though ANSI meant bar-style single height enter key. Oh well.

No, ISO has an extra key (and short leftshift) as well as a weird enter key.

Sometimes they take the |\ key from it's normal position above the enter, and put it elsewhere, and have a "bigass" enter key. I don't know how stringent ANSI is about the keyboards, but it's relatively common. Look at steelseries: they do it that way as well.

Yeah why do they have to have the fukin bigass-ed enter key.  Pitiful.  I would highly recommend the ducky 1087 from Pchome.  About $50 shipped to anywhere in the world.  Take that amazon (pew pew)!  ANSI + Tenkeyless too.  They are back in stock for what it's worth.

Mine arrived today, my first mechanical keyboard. What I have noticed is that the keycaps are thin and wobbly, certain keys don't click (num pad 6, pause ) and changing the rubber keycaps would be beneficial, but it seems not possible to get new replacement caps.
