Hi!  
I have seen pictures of keyboardio and I think that it is the kind of keyboard that I am searching for, but I would like to know if there is an spanish keyboardio with keys that has characters as the “ñ”, and that allows to use the spanish “acento” like this: á, é, í…  
I would like to have the keys with the characters printed on them. Is there something similar to that? Or the only way is to configure the Operating System to a spanish keyboard?  
I’m asking here because messages sended to keyboardio official website seems to have no response.  
Thanks.

All Model01 keyboards ship with US-QWERTY keycaps by default. There are additional keycap sets being produced (black painted blanks, translucent white blanks, Dvorak, Colemak and Linear A sets). I’m not sure if there are plans to offer localized keycaps anytime soon.

Mind you, you _can_ reprogram the keyboard to support nearly any layout you can imagine, it just won’t fully match the labels (unless you use blanks).

Thanks a lot for the quick response.  
Do you where I can buy keycap sets? Thanks

They will be available on [https://shop.keyboard.io](https://shop.keyboard.io) once they’re in stock. They’re being produced, and as far as I remember, not all pre-orders have been fulfilled yet, so it will take a little while to have them in stock.

(Note: this is all inferred from kickstarter updates and recent comments on the forums and twitter, I have no special insight.)

Rubén,

As a translator, I have to switch between writing in Spanish and English all the time. I use a QWERTY layout with US-International keyboard setup in Windows, and I can write the accents pressing the ’ key and then the vowel key, and the butterfly key plus the n for ñ (using shift for the uppercase). The butterfly key plus ? gives me the ¿, and butterfly plus 1 gives me ¡. It’s very easy to get used to this, and you don’t need to program the Keyboardio specifically for this.  
Hope this info helps,

Debora

Hi, @smantik.

The default Model01 firmware does not easily support non-English languages. I have a fork at [https://github.com/andrewgdotcom/Model01-Firmware](https://github.com/andrewgdotcom/Model01-Firmware) which tries to support as many languages as possible. Have a look at the “Class 5” keymap and see if it is useful for your purposes. Feedback welcome!
