Welcome to Geekhack!AFAIK the WASD does not have a programmable controller.Your simplest option would be to remap the keyboard with a utility on your OS, as Olumin suggested.Even WASD suggest something similar: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/mechanical-keyboard-guide#remap
Are you talking about a physical layout (keycaps, for example ISO enter and ANSI enter Key) or just the "layout" (remapped keys, for example QWERTY, QWERTZ, DVORAK...). I assume its just the "Layout", you can just change the layout on your OS.
There are various aftermarket controllers that do allow full programmability, but after a few searches it seems that there was not enough interest in one for WASD keyboards, and they were not made.

But I could be wrong.

I build my own keyboards for fun and sometimes you can find a mechanical one on eBay that is not working for a good price and salvage the components (LEDs, switches, diodes, etc.) for your own custom job. Hacking an existing keyboard that you do not the chipset being used is possible through a micro-controller but the time involved may not be worth it but I am sure that you could learn a lot! I would someday like to build a custom PCB with an ARM core on it like a PI that could also piggy back off the USB power and be programmable through that interface so that you could SSH into your keyboard with a full OS on it. Someday when I get some free time. I do have to say I enjoy building my own it can seem very daunting at first but you can learn a lot from it.

ola amigo brazzuca!! moro no brasil tambem e o que eu faco é só mudar a "language preference" no windows. assim aprendi também onde fica os acentos e me viro! é bem barbada.
I belive the "(Optional) Upload your layout file" is not to make my own logical layout but is for make a keyboard like this:Show ImageHope I'm wrong
If you use a teensy you'd just bypass the WASD pcb entirely. Teensy normally requires you to wire the switch matrix by hand. AFAIK incorporating the dipswitches would require the WASD pcb. You can program whatever you want on the teensy, including all the functions of those dipswitches.
I asked yesterday: "Hi!I want to buy the WASD V2 88-Key ISO Custom Mechanical Keyboard with blank keycaps, but I live in Brazil and we use ABNT2 layout here. So I can order a Portuguese layout with blank keycaps and remap the keys without using any operational system? "here is the answer:"You cannot remap or reprogram key maps outside of an OS environment beyond what is possible with our dipswitches: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/media/v2-user-guide.pdfPlease let me know if you have any other questions.Thank you."but I can take of the original controller and put a Teensy2.0++(?) on the pcb, right? Any way to how to do it without loose the dipswitches functions?
For a "standard" COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) keyboard like the WASD V2, anything beyond the built-in DIP switch remapping would require either to:Open up the keyboard, void the warranty, map the matrix, solder in a new controller. It may be possible to flash your own firmware on the existing one as well, ymmv.Acquire and use something like hasu's USB to USB converter: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74708.0
