"We haven’t opened ordering in your region yet, but we’re looking forward to getting there!" ...I've been waiting for two years with money in hand. Please let me pay you, please? Printing a set of keycaps for Scandinavian layouts can't be _that_ expensive?

I feel your pain as I am waiting to do the same. Apparently it's not just the keycaps but also stuff like warranty, returns etc. - quite a lot of legal bullshit before the product can reach you. I haven't seen any official announcement for a Ryzen Framework 16 though, so for me specifically it doesn't change much for now.

Why not use US/UK layout? The product is mainly for programmers therefore I'm certain the demand for these layouts is low. Scandinavian/German etc layouts are a pain in the ass to write chars needed for programming to behind with. Just map your keys so you get your umlauts with caps from where you are used to, not what your keyboard labels tell you. Or just ä - caps+ a etc.

  I can't live with the tiny enter key on US/UK layouts. I've spent way too long on the big one :) Also US and UK aren't in the EU, so shipping and taxes are going to literally kill me.

    UK layout has a big enter key and small left shift; it's the US layout that has a small enter and large left shit. Ireland uses the UK layout as well, and they're still in the EU. Of course, the letters and symbols printed are different from e.g. the Swedish layout, but the key locations should be the same.

  Because it's what people are used to. From experience I know that switching between US and UK layouts is rather painful: the key sizes are different, some keys are in different locations. One downside of having a "special" layout than everyone else is that everyone else's computer is harder to use (and also, harder for others to use your computer).

Just get a blank keyboard and sticker on your own legend if you need to. They have both enter sizes. (Only half joking, and you can buy a different keyboard once it is available in your locale.)
