Is there a thing as US ISO? One extra key. I've been looking at going from ISO Nordic to ISO UK, but I have an US ANSI board too and the UK layout looks like it would mess my ANSI usage with the @, #, ~, and \ keys (and vice versa).

Is there an ISO layout that does its best to mimic the US ANSI layout or would I have to download/create my own (on Windows and Ubuntu Linux)? The board is a market board so no flashing custom firmware.

Someone at GeekHack posted an image of an ISO board that is almost US ANSI apart from the |\ placement, which is pretty much what I'm after: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45278.msg945252#msg945252

EDIT: I think something went right. Toggling to US ANSI on a ISO Nordic board shifted |\ into place of '* and the <>|¦ key operates as <>. This on Ubuntu, need to check how it goes with Windows.

I have been trying to install the United States International keyboard layout for Windows to be able to easily type accented vowels for Spanish but there was literally no guide anywhere for Windows 10 and above, and the way to add keyboard layouts is a bit hidden now.

Press Windows key, type Language Settings and hit enter, in the Preferred Languages section click on the language you want to use this layout for (probably English (United States)), and then a secret hidden menu pops up (can you tell I hate UI design like this?) that has an Options button, so click that. Now you should be on a page called Language options: English (United States). Towards the bottom there is a Keyboards section, and under that there should be a Add a keyboard button, so click that. A drop-down list should appear and scroll and select United States-International.

Hope this is helpful.

I live in Europe but want a US layout keyboard, and these are not common here. I heard the Dutch prefer US layout, and found G14's for sale at alternate.nl with "International English" keyboard and am wondering how this differs from US layout.

If it's just the lettering on the keycaps (adding a euro symbol or whatever) then cool. But if the keys are physically different - like the Enter key is vertical or the left shift is shortened with an extra key stuck next to it (like UK keyboards do), then I might import one from the US instead.

Has anyone bought a Zephyrus with an International English keyboard and can confirm the layout, maybe post a picture? I've done some googling and am not sure I can trust the images I see. Very often they're accompanied by a disclaimer that the image may not match the actual product..

Many thanks!

Hi everyone,

I work in IT and primarily write in English. Does anyone here use a keyboard with a US layout? If so, how do you handle writing in German with it?

Would you say switching to a US layout keyboard is worth it?
