I want to get my SO a keyboard and unfortunately she uses ISO keyboards exclusively. ANSI is not an option.

The only keyboard I found were the keychron ones, looking for more options :/ Something like the Nuphy Air V2 would be amazing.

Anything out there, preferably TKL or smaller? Wired is totally fine.

    I’m on the same boat as you, pretty much. I grew up with ISO and moved to ANSI on my 20s. If you own an Happy Hacking Keyboard I’ll consider you my long lost brother!

    My SO is not a techie person and doesn’t particularly benefit from ANSI. She types a lot in portuguese, our native language, and the default ANSI layout has some really bad key placements. The ~ key in particular is in a pretty bad spot considering ã is used very frequently in our language. No point in getting used to a layout that is inferior for her workflow.

      Unfortunately I don’t, but we can be brothers regardless 😅

      Ah, I see! What if we told her she could have some tap-dancing customization where she double taps the a key and gets the ã? Even better than standard! 😁
