Hi - new here, but wanted to share a bit of information I've found on my 'journey' towards getting my first mech board.
As a long time user of the UK layout, I contacted Vortex Keyboard (designers of the POKER, PURE and RACE - I think) on Facebook to ask if they do, or will make any ISO boards. The discussion went as follows:
Me: Do you make any ISO layout boards?
Vortex Keyboard: You mean 105 Key Layout keyboard , if is that !! Yes , We will make that.
Tobias Müller: 88 key = ISO TKL would be more interesting
Vortex Keyboard: Yes, 88 Key for us is the same as 105 key , these are EU Layout . (enter key just like JP )
Me: Awesome! Yeah, I would really like an 88-key in that layout with UK/EU keycaps. If there was something like the Race 75% in the 88/105 key style, that would be really cool too.
Vortex Keyboard: As your wish , Race keyboard will have EU/UK Layout !!

Not sure if this is news to anybody, or even if it is a decent confirmation, but this is the first I've seen suggesting that this may happen.
I'll buy a UK layout RACE with MX Browns any day!

I'm so close to buying one. MX Blacks only at the moment though.
I have a feeling we'll be waiting a while for an ISO RACE, but it is pretty much my ultimate board :/
Going to test Black switches one more time before making a decision.

There are also videos of Norse and Italian layouts on YouTube.
