The swiss keyboard layout is fine !!!

@Thierry_Vial I believe I’m sensing aggression in your response to my comment, which surprises and honestly upsets me, as I was trying to help add some finishing touches to the Swiss design. I’m wondering why? Are you maybe worried that the Swiss keyboard and thus Framework availability in Switzerland could be delayed due to a detail? Or do you prefer the original design to my suggestions?

Just take a look at this beautiful Logitech G11 Keyboard.
Loigtech is (was) a Swiss company and they’ve been doing Keyboards for a while.
They are STILL doing the “wrong” layout.
We don’t need double öé éö on one button. Doesn’t matter if é is on top or ö.
Standard Press does the one you normaly use, and Shift does the other. That simple. No matter which one of the two is higher on the Keyboard.
It just looks damn fugly to have twice the same letter on your Keyboard for no valid benefit.
Except for being technically correct (which is the best form of correct, i admit). But that standard was just forced by some minorities without ANY valuble benefit for all sides.
I Stand my Point. Just don’t do it!

Yeah, the Swiss Keyboard is fine. Same as on my DELL Stock keyboard!

I personally also prefer the simpler look of only one öé üè äà per key rather than doubling them up, but either is fine. In case the designer reads this, the only thing that should be avoided is to have one öé üè äà per key and stack them on top of each other, that would definitely piss off either the German speakers or the French speakers depending on which orientation is chosen. If the letters are only used once on each key then they should be side by side (as in the Mac keyboard I linked) or diagonally as in that nice Logitech G11 keyboard above.
The Swedish keyboard looks good! Like others have mentioned the ‘I’ looks a little thick in the image, but other than that everything else seems spot on and looks just like all my other keyboards.
Personally I don’t mind having the Windows logo on the super key, I like it, but should you include an alternative I think the Framework logo would look nice.
Also, big plus for using ISO layout with the L-shaped ENTER key! It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find laptops with them from popular brands (at least gaming brands) these days, and I really don’t fancy the ANSI layout. For this single reason, I’ve chosen to stay away from laptop makers like ASUS and MSI, even though I otherwise like their laptops.
Really looking forward to getting a 16" Framework Laptop with GPU, when it becomes available in Sweden!

I was pretty shocked there isn’t a bigger deal made about that, at least consumer HP and ASUS started doing that a while ago and I have seen no major complaints about it. It’s not even an ANSI layout but some weird mix with one key missing (replaced by an FN key layer or something) and one moving to the other side of the keyboard.

Norwegian keyboard is correct
The danish layout makes me happy.
I would prefer something like a framework logo on the ‘system’ key instead of the windows logo, but that is purely for aesthetics 
I love it!

Swedish layout is looking good.
I believe Key 32 (M) is missing MIRCO SIGN ( μ (U+03BC) label, but that’s not really a deal breaker.
Looking forward to the Swedish pre-orders!

omg, this seems to be perfect (the HU version). adding this would be the dream!! as I need to type a lot, I cannot use any other layout comfortably. I know it would be a niche market, but adding this to the options would make you THE MVP. looking forward to it!
This might be a stupid question but could I apply the danish keyboard layout myself, somehow?
About Slovenian layout - it is alright but…
Missing € on E was already mentioned.
On some keyboards there is a “<” and “>” in bottom right corner of “,” and “.” keys respectively (AltGr+, is < and AltGr+. is >). Perhaps worth considering.
Also, would like to point out that the same layout works for Croatian, Bosnian and (probably) Latin Serbian.
Thanks, hoping to get Framework Laptop in my region soon

Hungarian looks good, can’t wait to order.
Just discovered this post. Swiss keyboard is fine as presented! If with double öé/éö or not doesn’t really matter. The version with double is more equal as it doesn’t presume german to be the main language in Switzerland. So I would prefer that. But in the end just make it happen and all swiss will be very happy!
Any ETA on this? @nrp

Would you tell me how/where you get these custom made keycaps on the second picture ? The one with the asian letters. Because i think this is custom made and i would like to know, where you could do that ?
These are not typically printed onto keys. Ää are not part of the alphabet, Íí already have a primary key left to Y, <> have another primary location on the Í and Y keys.
The Hungarian looks perfect to me as posted by nrp on Feb 4.
Would it be possible for you to post the original PDF file? I would like to use it to print my own keyboard stickers (for clear keyboard I would like to have at least a few symbols). Would be nice to have best possible quality as a basis.
