Request: Review of Norwegian, Portuguese, Swedish, Swiss, Slovenian, Thai, Hungarian, and Danish keyboards

[Gargaj]

Hungarian here, keyboard looks correct

[Dawe24]

@Barnabas_Gyula_Cserm

Every single Hungarian is used to only É and Á next to the enter in the mid row. Most others solve this with a flat enter key and slap the Ű on top, in the qwerty row.

Let me get this straight. You say, that it’s like the US layout, with the Enter button being shorter and more wider, and it takes the place of the Ű button, and Ű moves to the right side of Ú?

That’s interesting. I’ve never seen a keyboard like that before. Every single one that I used was the same exact layout that OP posted. Are you using some kind of remapped version of a US keyboard maybe?

[Luka_Persolja]

Slovenian keyboard looks good, just add the € symbol on the E key. I much prefer the apple “slovenian/croatian” that is qwerty and not qwertz, and I think most tech people here do too, but I understand that the general market is more used to qwertz.

[Barnabas_Gyula_Cserm]

I’m too dumb to quote but to answer you Dawe24, yes, exactly as you described. I checked 5 of my old laptops, my gfs ones, now going to ask around friends.

Swedish Keyboard

I think it looks really good, not missing anything. Only thing annoying is the windows key, would like to have FW logo or ‘super’

Hi Axel and welcome to the forum.

The issue with the Windows key has been discussed at length but for Framework to get Microsoft discounts for pre-builds it seems that was the price.

Replace the Windows key with a Linux one or at least a generic "super" one

Just a request: some of us probably don’t like the presence of the Windows key. It’s just a small detail in an already beautiful and amazing product. Maybe you want to run a poll to see if it’s worth it. I’d be happy to pay more for it as well. Thank you

[nrp]

Thanks everyone. We’re going to add the euro symbol on the Slovenian keyboard and adjust the alignment on the Thai keyboard. For the other changes, we don’t see consensus on whether the change is needed, so we will leave it alone for now.

[Warit_Nimanont]

Thai layout will more clean with minimal font such as kanit font.

[Anders_Jandel]

Hi, Swedish looks great, can’t wait to be able to order!

[Kjetil_Holm]

Norwegian looks good

[Fredric_Lonngren]

As a Swede, the Swedish layout looks good!
As a Framework Laptop fan, I would like to expand a bit on that. There is a common keyboard layout for for Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway called Pan Nordic used by OEMs like Lenovo, Dell, Keychron and others.
The main difference is around the three (really just two, Å is the same for all) shared umlauts that differs just a bit between the countries but can be collected in the Nordic hardware key-layout like [Å][ÖØÆ][ÄÆØ]. This makes the hw keyboards compatible between the nordic sw locales settings at the cost of a bit of a cramped typography on the umlaout keys.
Anyhow, for the big OEMs that have to deliver to resellers and keep stock, coordinating layout for market with a Nordic layout makes sense. If you are shipping direct from on demand delivery lines the minutia of typography of two keyboard-key layouts may not matter much, and the end customer gets a cleaner layout.
Both are fine with me.

Swedish is missing the € on lower right of 5.
3=£
4=$
5=€
But only first two are printed on your design.

[Robert_Bylund]

@Magnus_Berg

Other OEMs usually make “Scandinavian” keyboards since they’re identical apart from the slightly different look of our 3 umlauts. No big deal if you would do that.

No please, that mixed layout is horrible for people that needs to glance at the keys while typing.

[Robert_Bylund]

@Fredric_Lonngren

Pan Nordic

That mixed layout is hated by soo many, and it makes me type the wrong letter ever so often.

[adevade]

@Ysh_Dmt

Swedish is missing the € on lower right of 5.

I checked four different keyboards at work, and none had the € printed on the 5 key. All of them had it on the E key.

Typing Alt Gr + 5 did however print the € symbol. As did Alt Gr + E.

Brands checked: Varmilo keyboard, Asus ZenBook laptop, Dell laptop, HP keyboard.

[modular]

Swedish look good!

[Jacques_Spaus]

Swiss keyboard looks good, as already said by one user before me.

I just wanted to thank you for actually putting in the effort to offer all these layouts. I don’t know how the situation is in Switzerland, but here in Luxembourg we use the same layout as them and it can be hard to get your hands on a decent laptop with a Swiss keyboard. I purchased a Framework a week ago gambling that you would release a Swiss keyboard for it, and now I’m excited that it will actually happen in the near future!

[OrangeBurrito]

Would recommend using a font like Thonburi or Noto Sans Thai Looped for the Thai Keyboard. Apple’s Thai keyboard also uses looped glyphs, which are more readable.

[porpoise]

Hi, I like the Swedish keyboard but i have some thoughts.
I really, really want you to not have a Windows logo on the super key.
Please use one of the following symbols: Framework logo, Unicode U+2318 ⌘, or use the text “Super”.
A thought that just would be nice is to swap places of ? and \ on the + key to make the keyboard consistent with {} () [] on the 7,8,9,0 keys. Just to make it look good

Referenses:

Command key

Super key (keyboard button)

Swiss looks good. but keep in mind that we have 3 different languages and thus 3 different swiss keyboards. You showcased the german one also known as de_CH
