Keychron K4 Pro

[tomatensaftliebhaber027]

I love the design of the Keychron K4 Pro but I want to have it with blue tactile and clicky switches. I could only find ones with red and brown switches. Does anyone know where I can get the k4 with blue switches?

Keychron's website has them with K Pro Blue switches.

 

Otherwise, if you have a bit of time and don't mind the work, the K4 Pro has hotswap sockets. You could just buy blue/clicky switches of your liking and exchange whatever switches are in the one you found.

Yes, thanks a lot, but I need the German layout. I will probably just replace the switches with Gateron Blues.

Is there anything special about German keyboard?

 

If you know what each key does, you can use any layout.

 

If you use German layout in OS, the keyboard should use German key layout.

 

Same if I use quertz, when I press key next to T and U should be Z, and if I use querty pressing key next to T and U should be Y.

The German keyboard uses a ISO layout, not ANSI, so this would only properly work with another ISO board. And wanting your keycaps to match their actual function isn't unreasonable.

If you are swapping out the switches anyway, you could explore more exotic clicky switches than Gateron Blues.

I mean...how were we supposed to know that from your OP?

 

For what it is worth, I used ANSI and swap between US-ENG and ISO-DE in the OS for Umlaute and ß, pretty simple after a while. Opens up a lot more options when it comes to keyboards, but I understand not everyone is into that.

I have US keyboard and I use Czech layout, might be simpler than German, but it's covering everything and since I know where each Czech language specific key is located I don't need labels on it.
