Hello all,

I have a nice retro case that is inspired by the Amiga 3000. I will build a PC system in this case. Now I am looking for a perfectly matching keyboard. I already saw that it is possible to exchange the Windows-Logo with the good old Amiga 'A'. That is nice, even if the Amiga-'A' is misplaced (should also be in the upper left).  But I do need the german keyboard layout especially for the umlauted vowels (ä, ö, ü). 

I would probably be able to create a layout. But I am not sure if it will work technically. Would I need to remapp all keys with a software that are different to the international ISO Layout? Has this been done before?

Kind regards

Sascha

  Hi,
  
  If your computer's keyboard language is set to German, that's all you'll need. Unless your version is different somehow. We have ISO keyboards with German as a pre-designed layout option, so you could use it as a starting point. Let us know if you have any other questions.

  Hi,

  thank you for your answer. I couldn't find German as a pre-designed layout option in the shop. Or is there a selection of layout files somewhere? Can you help me with that.

  Thanks!

  Sorry for any confusion. We have German as a pre-designed layout option in the online designer tool for 105, 88, and 62-key custom keyboards and keycap sets. If you wanted to create something yourself, more information on custom uploaded layouts can be found here: https://support.wasdkeyboards.com/hc/en-us/articles/115009403848-Intro-to-Custom-Layouts  The 105 key template has a layer for German, so you wouldn't have to start from nothing.
