I was recently shopping for laptops in Europe and wished I had gone that route. But instead I learned a different layout (which I am very happy with!) that can only reasonably be used on an ISO keyboard since you need to reach that extra key next to enter all the time.
But laptop manufacturers have seriously started putting physical ANSI layouts and putting QWERTZ (the German layout) on it. There were three machines I would have bought if it hadn't been for the keyboard.
- WhyNotHugo 6y agoI feel ya! I moved to the EU recently, and finding mechanical keyboards is really tough. There's no lack of vendors -- the issue is the variety of layouts. After weeks of searching, a found A SINGLE vendor who sold cherry reds with US English layout. (and those two were my only requirements, fortunately).
- Cu3PO42 6y agoGlad you found one! Though I am surprised by that, ANSI keyboards are everywhere in Germany. For example you can get one from Cherry itself [0], though it may very well be different in other countries.

- WhyNotHugo 6y agoI'll admit I had rather specific requirements: - Mechanical. - Cherry reds. - No number // tenkeyless. The last item is rather important to me, since it influences my posture a lot and affects ergonomics way more than most people tend to assume.
