Then i clicked on the picture and saw it was a phone.
I recently bought a Dierya DK61 because I wanted to try a 60% with optical switches and I had to buy a set of keycaps. What bothers me is that is not really a big deal for makers to print keycaps and the people who doesn't live in US has to deal with crappy stuff from Aliexpress if they want a proper experience.
I didn't to do any crazy remap in the spanish ISO when using my keyboard, just change the keycaps and you are good to go. The only key that needs remapping is </> since I'm still using ISO layout and supposedly they become alt characters on keys , and . but they don't work like that in ISO, but all these keyboards have software to do that.
It's not that of a big deal, that's why I said they could just print some keycaps for other languages in this layout and at least have a bare minimum offer to the rest of the world instead of relying on low quality chinese parts. Look at that left shift and it's only 4 days since I changed the keycaps.
