ISO Keycaps on ANSI Keyboard? Greater Than Less Than Key

[@gurugrumpy]

I searched the whole internet finding a good ISO-DE with Knob keyboard but jezz i could now make any of the ANSI one.. thanks for the tips!

[@Serafiniert]

Here are some options. Neither of them are perfect, but at least they offer their keyboard as ISO-DE: 1. GMMK Pro (300€) 2. Keychron Q1 Pro / Max, V1 Max (94€ - 204€) 3. Corsair K65 Plus (130€) (yes, this is a 75%) 4. ASUS ROG Azoth (230€)

@@Serafiniert thanks for the help buddy.. i bought Endorfy Thock 75% wireless and its a match made in heaven, ISO DE, Knob, hot swap, aluminium top and sounds amazing. The only downside is the software but thats okay as long as i am enjoying typing.

[@Serafiniert]

@@gurugrumpy yeah, no idea why they all want to use their own, unfinished, software. They’re all lackluster (except iCue from Corsair. That can everything I need, but is bloated nonetheless). Maybe I’ll give the Thock 75 a spin, until the Zoom75 is back in stock. Zoom75 has everything, except for the wrong LED orientation. It’s south-facing, but I want north-facing.

NUBS saved my day thx

[@maiomango]

Danke vielmals! :)

Hey Florian, wenn du die Wahl hättest, würdest du dir eine ansii oder iso Tastatur kaufen. Die Keychron q2 pro gibt es in beiden Varianten, aber die iso Variante hat leider keine PBT Keycaps. Ich finde grds. auch die breitere shift und enter Taste angenehmer zu tippen. Dies kann ich aber eigentlich auch auf der ISO Tastatur entsprechend umprogrammieren.

[@floriangladis]

Option für Keychron Q2 Pro ist sich wo anders PBT ISO Keycaps zu kaufen. ANSI kann man rocken, habe ich zuhause auch als meine Haupttastatur. Sieht dann so aus wie in meinem Video über mein Endgame Keyboard. Ich finde es aber besser, die Buchstaben der Sprache auch auf der Tastatur zu haben, die man am meisten schreibt, ist sonst manchmal etwas nervig (wenn man viel schreibt). Hoffe das hilft dir weiter :D

[@shervin5942]

@@floriangladis Danke für deine schnelle Antwort. Hast du denn eigentlich dann das Problem, dass du eine ISO Tastatur die kleine Shift bzw. kürzere Entertaste verfehlst?

[@floriangladis]

@@shervin5942 Mir fehlen die Tasten nicht! Habe die kurze Shift tast und das Große Enter über zwei reihen und hatte damit nie Probleme! :)

[@sparkplugbarrens]

Finally! Took way to look long to find this simple information. How did you know, that NUBS stands for "|"? Is there a guide to the software somewhere?

[@floriangladis]

I just tried a lot of keys lol If you mean VIA or QMK, yea there are guides in the world wide web :)

[@007sMoneyPenny]

Exactly what I was looking for since last year, when I purchased the new IQUNIX ANSI keyboard. I’m not familiar with the key mapping software and how to use it. Can I program the keyboard with VIA(?) on my MacBook so that the keyboard would also work with my Office WIN PC? I don’t have permission to install external software.

[@floriangladis]

Yes! In QMK and VIA, you can create different layers. Just make one layer for win and one for macOS. Copy all the keys from the base layer and switch out the specific keys for win or macOS and then select a key to switch the layers. If you use your keyboard just press the key to switch the layers and switch to the layer according to the OS. I hope that helps. Otherwise, I can do a video about it, if you so desire. :) And yes you can use VIA with macOS. Can be tricky sometimes, but it works!

[@SaphireBluey]

Could you make a tutorial on how to put on ISO DE Keycaps on an ANSI Layout and how to configurate the software? The german market for custom keyboards is just horrible...I don't know how to configurate the special letters ä, ö, ü and ß.

[@floriangladis]

You do not need to configure them, just put the keycaps ä, ö, ü, ß on the keyboard, set your language in Windows to DEU and that's it. It should work. Let me know if it doesn't!

[@floriangladis]

Just take a look at minute 2:19 I have changed nothing to the positions where the special letters would be. :)

[@mouzz]

does the software works for every keyboard or just on the ones that support it ?

[@floriangladis]

One of the two (VIA or QMK) should work with every custom keyboard, I don't know if you can use it with a keyboard from the store, like a razer or Logitech keyboard.

[@fari_15]

Can I use the ansi keycap on iso keyboard? I cant find any botanical keycaps shine through that has a iso keycap

[@floriangladis]

most likely not :/ except like I mentioned in the video

[@X-101]

You don't have to do all that to get a back slash, just press alt+the ansi \ and shift+alt you get the |

[@chiisi0212]

Can i use ANSI Keycaps on ISO Keyboard? It would be the same thing? if its not is there some way to make it possible?

[@floriangladis]

Well, you have to look out for the enter key and the greater than less than key. Some keycap sets offer these special keys. Just take a look at your ISO keyboard and check if all the keys you have on your board are also in the keycap set and if so, you can use them!

[@chiisi0212]

@@floriangladis Oh, my enter switch in is the middle of two lines so i guess i cant. Anyway the video was really great and informative :)

[@floriangladis]

@@chiisi0212 thank you :)
