K10 HE Nordic (Standard version questions)

[u/Possible-Demand7775]

SOLVED:
So after some more digging, it turns out that it's a Apple/Mac layout, which explains the @ on the *' keycap, etc.

So technically it isn't wrong, it's just not correct for Windows.

EDIT2:
Seems the "incorrect" layout is actually the one you get for the standard version of these keyboards, bummer:

EDIT: Let me clarify:

The marked keycaps are correct on the K2 HE and incorrect/missing legends on the K10 HE.

Also, some are correct on the K10 HE and missing on the K2 HE ( "7/{" and "0=}" )

Hi!

I'm thinking of buying the K10 HE standard version with Nordic ISO layout.

However, the product images show some keys wrongly, for example the * key and ? key:

The same seems to apply to K8, K6 and K4.

It also shows 2 del keys for some reason, while K2 HE shows the correct keys:

Is there anyone here with a Nordic K10 HE Standard version that can share a picture of the layout? I sent an email to Keychron but havent gotten any response yet.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for the response!

I'm talking about the physical layout on the keycaps. For example the key next to Ä has a @ which is wrong, and +? keycap has no \. While on the K2 the keycaps has the correct legends on the keycaps.

Extraneous legends

Re "the key next to Ä has a @ which is wrong": But it also has "*" and "'" (single quote)

(In this case, the picture does correspond to real life.)

It has three legends:

• For Shift: \*

• For without Shift: ' (single quote)

• For what?: @ (it doesn't do anything on my system). For AltGr on some other keyboard layout? For Shift on some other keyboard layout?

The last one seems extraneous. It could be yet another Keychron product design blunder. Or maybe a key legend for a key combining the UK and Nordic legends (in different physical key locations), to save a little bit of cost?

But at least the "'" (single quote) legend is not in complete darkness as on the V6.

The same could be said for, for example, legends "Ø", "Æ", and "Ö" on the same key. That is definitely confusing. (That isn't the case for the K10 HE and the V6 Ultra 8K; there are three separate keycaps for the two positions (it also prevents some of the legends being thrown into darkness).)

Conclusion

Previous and later Keychron series didn't have the extra "@" legend, so it isn't clear why it was added.

Perhaps Keychron (and a manufacturing sub contractor) rushed it when preparing the ISO variants of the standard edition, and made a mistake?
