Recently got my first keyboard (keychron Q1) with ansi layout
Trying to find out how difficult (or not) it will be to switch from iso layout to ansi. Main reason is the much better choice of keycaps that will be available.
Have any of you made the switch ? If so how difficult was it ?
You're viewing a single thread.
Makes one wonder, why did ANSI become the de-facto standard in the mech keyboard community? Is it because of higher purchase power of US enthusiasts, or something else?
From a volume standpoint, wouldn't ISO make more sense?
@FirstWizardZorander On a QMK keyboard you could swap that key to whatever symbol you want, right in the keyboard’s firmware.
Right, but on ISO keyboards have a vertical Enter key
Personally I like the ISO enter key way more than the ANSI one, it looks a lot more canonical for me and my pinky can press it better than the ANSI one.
@in2erval I understand. That can’t be switched on the keyboard. I was merely explaining that he can adapt his ISO layout to act as an ANSI keyboard. But that’s only software. It can’t change the shape of your keycaps.
Sure the giant return key looks cool, but it takes so much room on the keyboard.
