Hello!
« on: Wed, 03 April 2013, 08:36:27 »
Hello! I'm new to GH and also new at customizing keyboard (I haven't touch my keyboard's design at all).
I currently own a Razer blackwidow with Cherry blue switches and receiving next week a new one, CM Storm quickfire pro with cherry red switches
From browsing through the forums, I notice that it will be very hard for me to customize my keyboard since I'm using a ISO layout french version.. QQ. But it won't stop me trying to at least make some changes to my keyboard. I am currently aiming at trying to get Red alert letters with a funky esc button.
Looking forward to learn more and to be part of this community.

Welcome to the forum!  I'm currently looking for some ISO-layout key caps myself, you're not alone in that quest.   :)

Ya, I am. I could make my life easier and could have gone with an ANSI layout keyboard but I've tried using those and it just didn't feel comfortable for me.
@Greystoke, ISO layout is rare but Iso layout French is probably a myth.

I see that this layout does exist, not sure how common alternate key caps are for this setup.  I'm sure you'll find a lot of resources here to help you in your search, or to suggest alternatives.   :D
