Trying to find out how difficult (or not) it will be to switch from iso layout to ansi. Main reason is the much better choice of keycaps that will be available.

Have any of you made the switch ? If so how difficult was it ?

I use US ANSI keyboards from time to time. Enter key and the keys behind it used to be quite some deal before I started adapting to it. Haven't heard of EURkey yet, so I went with us-international. One thing that bothered me there though: There is no uppercase ßẞ.

For what do you need upper case ß though? It doesn't exist in any words

[-] n3cr0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's used for CAPITALIZATION. I know that's a pretty rare scenario.

I guess could have figured that out. To be fair the lower case ß is big enough that it fits into full caps words like STRAßE. Imo not much difference to STRAẞE. But that's subjective obviously and a fair complaint to miss that.
