I'd quite like to get a keychron K6 HE special edition but I can only find it with a US key layout.
If I want it as a UK ISO layout can I just change some key caps and change the settings in my OS?

I mean it's a 65% keyboard so the layout is a bit funky anyway so it wouldn't be a massive issue but anything that stops me hunting keys would be good.

Test it and find out!

What I read online is you can change software settings but don't change the hardware, but I don't understand why not if they're all the same 114 key etc keyboards...

I kinda want to know if it'll work before I buy a new keyboard and key caps!

Some of the keys on a full sized keyboard are a different shape for ISO rather than ANSI (like the return key) but that shouldn't come into it on this teeny tiny keyboard!
I'm mostly worried about the punctuation keys.

I'd post some pictures to explain but I haven't been able to post pictures here for awhile!
