Hi !
I would like to use/buy the TenZ takeover kb, but i'm french, the ISO fr is not available in this configuration, so do you think i can just use the french azerty configuration on windows and switch the keycaps to have the good layout ? Some kb have a keycaps with a different size by line, for example The keys are higher on the first row and lower on the second, and if we change them we can see a difference in size, which causes a problem

its just an ansi keyboard and has the same limitations as any ansi keyboard if you wanna use it with languages that traditionally use ISO

My actual kb have this problem, the y keycaps is not at the same size

normal berry
#

you put the y key in the wrong spot

#

you basically switched z and y which means the z key is also wrong for its row

#

Exactly, that's why I wondered if it would do the same thing with this keyboard

normal berry
#

it would with any non flat keycap set

#

so basically 99% of keycaps out there

verbal ember
#

So if I get this keyboard I'll have the same problem ? palmcat

#

keycaps have something called a profile which determines angles

verbal ember
normal berry
#

most keycap sets are either OEM profile or Cherry profile

#

our keycap sets are also only cherry and oem depending on the specific set

#

youd have to buy different keycaps if you want azerty

verbal ember
#

So same pb with my akko5098b....

normal berry
#

youd have to specifically shop for an ISO FR set which wouldnt fit on the ANSI keyboard if it doesnt have ansi caps included (which isnt always the case)

verbal ember
#

Do you have a link for this type of market?

normal berry
#

the common solutions are:

  • dont buy ansi keyboards and only ISO
  • ignore whats printed on the keycaps (only whats set in windows/linux/macos matters anyway)
  • switch to US as your keyboard layout in the OS so ANSI keycaps match with the legends

Krome Keycaps LTD

Custom French Keyboard Keycaps – ISO-FR, AZERTY Layout Enhance your keyboard with our custom French keycaps, designed for the ISO-FR layout and AZERTY configuration. These keycap sets include full support for French characters such as é, è, ç, à, ù, and accented symbols, with correct key sizing and layout. Choose from

#

yeah one of the first results

#

if youre lucky they can also answer you via support if the sets include ANSI and ISO keycaps but with whatever language print you want (French in your case)

#

btw there is advantages to switching to ANSI full time and just accepting the US print on the keycaps... for example that you can now buy most keycaps sets on the market as most of them are made only for ANSI

#

including cool prints and what not

#

How i can be sure the keycaps fit perfectly ? I'm new in this game ^^'

normal berry
#

you ask them what i already wrote... if the sets include ANSI and ISO keycaps for your selected language

#

if so theyll just fit

#

the reason is that they print the characters on the right keycaps so the height is correct

@normal berry the only solution for me to use this awesome kb and keep the keycaps it’s to ask at one designer to redraw the letter
