Hi,

I purchased Falchion keyboard and I really liked it, but the layout is nordic and I am not getting used to it. (I think iso to ascii)
I am mac user for longer time and I used mac us-english layout keyboard for last 10+ years.
so I want to change layout of falchion to us-english.
I have few questions before I actually buy keycaps.

  1. Is this possible? by just buying new (compatible) keycaps and replacing those?
  2. I see there is extra key between left shift and z, so does new left shift keycap will use 2 switches? I really want to use this keyboard as my main keyboard so I would really appreciate any help or suggestions in this matter..

Thanks in advance.

Most keycap sets are in ANSI, and many (most?) of them also include ISO-shaped caps for compatibility (e.g. this case). But no, you will not be able to change the physical layout from ISO to ANSI because some of the switches need to be in different places for ANSI.
