I'm in the process of learning Russian (something I've always wanted to do) and have been relying on my phone with a Cyrillic keyboard option to communicate with some friends who are helping me along the way. This obviously isn't ideal, and using online boards and then copying and pasting the text is very cumbersome.
I'm looking for something that's 61-keys, to use as a secondary board to type in Cyrillic while also being able to use it for travel. I know WASD has what I'm looking for, but I'm curious if there is a hardware feature on the board to switch alphabets, or if it's something I have to select in the OS on the fly and and simply reference the letters on the board for what I want. I know Windows allows you to set multiple "input languages", but I've never experimented with this. If this is more or less the way to do it, then it seems foregoing a new board and simply getting some new keycaps with both alphabets (I'm currently using a Corsair RGB Strafe Mk. 2).
However, I WOULD like to build my own board, and one thing that gives me pause about WASD is the lack of backlighting; I understand they aren't a fan of unicorn vomit, but it's still nice to have backlit keys.
Open to any and all suggestions!
