Thank you. Yes I have already look at those, but they are little to wide compared to the cooler master ones and 200$???

You want a niche device. Can't really expect it to be cheap.

Hello. For 2-3 years I am using the corsair k95 platinum. It is a very cool and easy to use keyboard. The only thing I don’t like, is the sound. Although I am using rubber rings, its extremely loud, and people in voice chats immediately get annoyed. So, I searched for low profile ones. After some days I found the keychron k1. It’s perfect. Literally. There is nothing better. The problem: I am German and there is no German layout available.

I watched a few videos and heard that the very similar cooler master sk650 are terrible to write with. Is it possible to just swap the z and y keys, on the k1, to match my layout?

A more elegant use would be just buying a German layout keyboard. What I am looking for, is low-profile, numpad, RGB, silent, compact (no need for media keys, sk650 like). I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out.
Have a nice day. :)

Why do you think that a low profile keyboard would be quiet? That's.... Not how it works. If you want a quiet keyboard, get a quiet keyboard.

Alternatively, you could try these QMX clips for your current keyboard.

Thats not what I am trying to say. I just like the compact and lowprofile look. The reason is that my keyboard is too loud.
Thank you for sharing these keycaps, but I would like to have a new keyboard, that I could also use with my laptop.

I took the cooler master one. They offer free better keycap if requested. With the new new caps it should be easier to type. Thank you.
