ISO layout keyboards for UK typists

UK keyboards use the ISO layout: a tall, upside-down L-shaped Enter key, a short left Shift with an extra key beside it for backslash, and £ above the 3. Most enthusiast keyboards launch in the US ANSI layout first, so if you learned to type on a UK board it's worth filtering for ISO before anything else.

Every board on this page is sold in an ISO version, but not always a UK one. ISO is also the shape used in Germany, France, Spain and the Nordic countries, and a few boards here are only offered with those legends, so check the listing says UK or English (UK) and shows a £ on the 3 key.

If you think you'll change keycaps later, bear in mind that UK ISO keycaps are harder to find than ANSI ones. Many sets sell the ISO keys as an extra kit, and some don't offer them at all. Our ANSI or ISO guide explains the difference key by key.
