Oldschool touchtyper, Mexican, we used ISO all the time... it's a pain to adapt to ANSI but have been forced to do so. it does go way up in skill and or price to want an ISO layout. I still end up changing keyboard configs on windows like a madman.
Wow ive been looking for this for months! Hurray!
I’ve been thinking about making my first keyboard, so to see someone doing videos on iso(the Lay-out I use) boards is really cool, THANKS!!!
Thanks a lot! :D
I try to make more videos in the future about keyboards, but University is kicking in atm :S
But if you have questions, feel free to ask in the comments!
Thank you, man. Awesome of you, that you took care of my request. The vid really helped me out here.
sure thing ;)
Same
Awesome Video thanks.
Thank you for watching! :)
nice vid!
thank you :)
Great video! By the way, wasdkeybords lets you customize what characters you want to have on your keycaps using a template svg you can edit yourself. Not the best quality keycaps for the price, but if you need a multilingual keyboard in ISO, at least there's a way. I don't think there's a 75% version though. Thought it might help someone out. If you know a brand that does it in better quality, let me know.
Thanks for the comment. Great tip! :D
I get why key-caps manufacturer don't do much ISO layout (there is so many), but PCB in iso ? Like there is a bigger market for ISO than ANSI (if we count by people in ISO vs ANSI layout regions). I think it's a very much untapped market that keychron and Glorious are taking advantage now better than others.
And if i wasn't writting emails in my native language full of accents and weird letters everydays, i could switch to a Ansi layout... but i can't.
Wow, so in conclusion its very expensive to build a ISO Layout KB. Thing is with me, unfortunately I have lots fo specs that the KB should have. Like beeing ISO, being hotswap, BT 5.0 with option for 2.4Ghz and last but not least not so chunky of a case. So my endgame keeb is far far away, I guess. Your vid helped a lot, though. Thanks.
Yes ISO is more expensive, but you should check out the Keychron Q2 and the GMMK PRO, there are a lot of reviews, maybe you like one of them. And always keep searching the web for new keyboards, there is always something new on the horizon, even for ISO :'D
@@floriangladis We'll do. Thing with Q2 and GMMK Pro is that the form factor doesnt suite my need. I like it beeing little more like low profile / case. Thanks for the recommendations though.
💯🤙
One day we'll get wireless :3
It's so sad how few 75 % iso nordic hot-swap boards there are.
true :/
What would you say is to much money to spend on an iso keyboard
Well good question! Depends on who you ask, but I would say you have to always consider paying more for the keycaps and you most likely need to buy the soldered PCB. I think that a keyboard in general should be max 500€ and that is already a hefty price. Everything included of course.
@@floriangladis OK
The prices are absurd. Specifically for iso. I can find a cheap ansi 60% keyboard with switches and keys for £20-£30. With hotswappable switches. I can just replace everything if I want. That much for keys? Wth?! It's molded plastic... oh my god some people are getting seriously fleeced.
Prices changed in the last 1 and a half years. Everything is cheaper now. Keycaps are still very expensive though.
