Qwertzu for german language countries, Azerty for French speaking countries and I'm sure there are many more.

I hadn't heard of that layout before. You learn something new every day.

Very cool board.

I dunno if you saw the other replies, but it turns out QWERTZU is a German keyboard layout. The more ya know.

What do you use for äöü߀ though? I've personally come to prefer ANSI layout with EurKey and going back to QWERTZ / ISO-DE feels off now.

I built it in the german layout i'm used to because i went all in on Art Nouveau (hope i spelled that right). Including the novelty, this is base- and 4 childkits 🫥
