Hey there,

I have a bit of a problem. I'd love to buy a mechanical keyboard, but I'm from belgium. We use AZERTY-keyboards here, but I can't seem to find any mechanical on the market. I found some French AZERTY keyboards, but the symbols are placed entirely different compared to Belgian keyboards so I don't want those. Does anybody know how I can get a Belgian AZERTY mechanical keyboard?

Thanks

I have no idea how much this would help, but after a few searches I was lead to this website:

http://www.materiel.net/clavier/cherry-g80-3000-38775.html


Maybe you'll find something useful there?

*EDIT*. I'm dumb. I realized that the keyboard I linked is a French keyboard. -_- My bad.

If Belgian mechanical keyboards even exists, you'll still have a very limited selection. I would try to get a good mechanical keyboard and use software to remap the keys to what you want. Perhaps you can even get keycaps for the special character keys if you really want to.

If you get a das ultimate label-less keyboard, you can pretend it to be any keyboard you like !

Mechanical keyboards with belgian layout actually do exist, i am the owner of one. Got a CM Storm Quickfire Pro red switches WITH belgian layout. Was searching for a keyboard with red switches & belgian layout, and seemed like CM Storm was the only one providing that. Payed mine about €100 and got it delivered & arrived within 3 days. If i were you, i would definitely take a look: the price is decent, they are quite good & sturdy & they have all the popular Cherry MX switches (black, blue, brown & red).

Hope you can find what you are looking for!

Hmm, I'll take a look at a CM keyboard. Never heard of it before though. Is it any good?

I would go for the Das Ultimate
Simply because it's Cherry MX Blues and has no keys written onto it. So it can be Belgium layout, Japanese, Urdu or whatever it is that you want to type. For me it would've been a good choice since I type Spanish, English, Chinese and Japanese and sometimes it's a pain in the ass to be typing letters that aren't in the keyboard.

But if not, seems like the CMStorm Quickfire Pro is the best bet!
From looking at the CMStorm website, that link is the only online re-seller that actually works.
The more I practice, the luckier I get!

You can by french ones here:

http://www.keyboardco.com/

French use AZERTY too, don´t they?

Edit: Sorry I should read the thread :/

But if you want to go with something like that, you can get a belgium Cherry G80 with black switches.
Google this: G80-3000LPCBE-0

We do not have the same AZERTY layout.

You may buy the g80-3000, but be warned it is a bit poorly built (and has no plate).
Honnestly i moved to QWERTY (us-intl) which is quite better if you do some programming.

Edit : as to the Quickfire Pro, it is made by the EOM iOne, which is usually considered not as good as Costar-made boards.

If you want cheap, CM seems to have the market cornered.

But QWERTY is such a standard, I'd honestly just learn that.

Most french that I know use QWERTY. I can type my french quite well on QWERTY, once I figured out the alt codes for ç,é,ê,ë, etc.

with QWERTY us you need alt codes, with QWERTY international ' and ` become dead keys allowing `+e=è or '+e=é and so on.

If you have the money, go for a "das Keyboard". Worth the money.
And since you can always change the layout on your operating system.. it's not a big deal memorising your keyboard layout. I'm using dvorak and learned it within a a week or two (also modified it) and it's the best for 10-finger-system typing.

But if you're looking for a Belgium keyboard on/imprinted layout I can't help ya.

You can always move the caps and/or buy new ones with custom prints. I myself prefer blank caps, but at the moment I have letters on them (but in a totally wrong order :D + Show Spoiler +

Honestly, as I mentioned before in the other thread go for

This steelseries Keyboard

I've heard good stuff about their other one 6gv over here, but my friend said its not good. This steelseries keyboard has kept me going since BW to Sc2 its good.

Well, I'm belgian too and I wanted a Zowie celeritas (fanboy yeahyeah). But impossible to find it in the belgian layout so I just took a french one and tbh, it doesn't take so long to get used to it.

You could consider learning Dvorak layout as an option

For typing French the bépo layout is better than dvorak or dvorak-fr

this is really the best idea i think, it's such a great keyboard, and you can adapt it for french or english just fine with virtual keyboards.

kinda pricy though
