Hello everyone,

Reyaz here, i'm fairly new to the world of mechanical keyboards, but being into customization and optimization of computer/electronic music kinda thing, this new hobby seems super interesting !

I'm looking to assemble my first keyboard soon, but being swiss i use ISO CH, which is a nightmare 1) to find keyboards sets ( 65% 75%) or pcbs even which are hot swappable and ISO, and then 2) ISO CH keycaps

and i've been wondering if there was any fellow swiss people here facing the same issues and if so, what are your ways of overcoming them. I'm currently designing my own keycap set for the maxkey custom keycaps but these are not PBT caps which bothers me a bit..

anyway, super happy to be a part of the group !

Hey

I'm new here to and just face the same issue. i got recomended to check out https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=106060.0  , which has the needed layout for at least the keys, i think to get 100% the swiss layout you need to change something in the software.
Hotswappable is even harder to find.
The easiest way to find a pcb is probably finding any keyboard which supports mx switches and reuse it's pcb.

Yeah hot swap is pretty hard to find indeed , i'm planning on ordering the ID80v2 which exists in ISO layout, and then custom print some keycaps from maxkey  -> https://www.maxkeyboard.com/iso-layout-custom-color-cherry-mx-keycap-set-top-print-blank.html
