Trying to find out how difficult (or not) it will be to switch from iso layout to ansi. Main reason is the much better choice of keycaps that will be available.

Have any of you made the switch ? If so how difficult was it ?

    Nice to know. I’m also an ISO-DE user. I assume you use standard US ANSI keycaps and then in either the OS or Firmware you make the EurKEY binds for the modifiers ?

    So far I have been having US international in Windows Setup. Seems to work okay ish so far but I don’t type German that offen. Mostly coding and English.

    Different shape return needs getting used to and constantly mistake where the “?” Key and braces are.

    I will look into EurKEY thanks for the reply already.

      I use Linux where EurKEY is available w/o extra install. On Windows, EurKEY can be installed as a layout. I use US ANSI keycaps. The good thing about EurKEY is that ‘ä’ is on AltGr-a, ‘ö’ on AltGr-o. Much easier to remember than US International, at least for German.
