Keyboard with Left Cntl & Fn swapped

Is it possible to get a US standard keyboard with the left Cntl and Fn keys reversed (you know, like good keyboards, eg Thinkpads). These keys can be swapped in the BIOS which is great, but it drives me nuts having the wrong lettering on them.

If not can we add it as a feature request? I doubt it would be a massive manufacturing challenge to offer this.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Honestly, I think this is really unlikely. Framework uses the standard arrangement, used seemingly everywhere beside Thinkpads. And Framework currently offers 13 different keyboard languages. They wouldn’t want to bump that to 26 in order to also have swapped Ctrl / Fn. There are costs involved in stocking and fulfilling additional items.

You could get decals for Ctrl and Fn. keyoverlay.com/modifier-and-function-signs

The thinkpad keyboards are good despite that not because of it XD.

I appears like Lenovo is releasing the 12th Gen X1 Carbon with a “ctrl+fn” setup instead of “fn-ctrl”, just like the Z series has already. I’d imagine T/X series following next generation.

I just wish the Ctrl and Fn keys were the same physical size, then I could just swap them myself.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn’t realize the age of this thread when I replied. Discourse is unusual in how it shows topics, so it appeared as a recommended thread.

All good. It’s been months but the Framework keyboard is still driving me nuts :roll_eyes:

Really missing my ThinkPad Trackpoint too. Every day is a struggle. Especially as I can’t get the stupid trackpad to not be super sensitive to taps under Windows. (Switched to Manjaro just so I could use the thing)
