Thank you for the response, I appreciate it! I’m not sure I understand the paragraph about the keyboard, however; do you mind explaining how switching the format will affect it?
Sure. In Windows there’s ways to change the settings for it. I’ll link some steps on that. I’ll also give the direct link if you want to use a blank keyboard:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learning-center/how-to-remap-your-keyboard
That article above goes very in depth about how to get that done. Depending on what you need to work with; foreign languages, different key formats, etc. it should have the steps to switch them out and give you the best workflow. The short of it though, even if your physical keys show one thing, they will react like you expect with a keyboard you’re familiar with.
As for the physical framework keyboard: https://frame.work/marketplace/keyboards
That second link will shows the different keyboard options they have. As a side note, if you choose the DIY edition, you can pick from the different keyboards rather than be stuck with default English. Still doesn’t have Swedish, but may give you a better alternative this way.
Do note, the DIY edition does require some assembly. When I got mine I had to install the wireless card, memory and SSD. Everything else is basically pre-assembled. https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-intel?q=processor
Feel free to ask more questions if you need to. And you’re welcome
The letters printed on the keys actually don't matter.
When you install an OS or set up your user, there's always a step asking you your language, right? Part of that is what the OS will interpret the keyboard key codes as.
For example, I pick US English as my language and then also say that I want "Dvorak" as my keyboard layout instead of the normal "Qwerty".
After that, my laptop keyboard (which is the standard Qwerty everyone in the US gets with their Dell laptop) will be interpreted by the OS as actually being Dvorak layout instead, so typing the keys labeled "asdf" makes "aoeu" show up.
Software keyboard layout vs hardware keyboard layout.
