Question Is keyboard layout so important?

[JediMa]

Is keyboard layout so odd to base my choice on it? I've never used any different layout from Italian ISO but this is making too hard to find a mechanical keyboard and keycaps replacements, most of them are US and ANSI.

Keys just won't be in the same place, you can get used to a ne keyboard layout but it might not have some of the shortcuts for typing that the Italian one has. Like the accented E for example which I cannot type on my PC, on MacOS it's easier.

Yep, but up to you if you want your exact language and preference layout or something more common with more options. Italy must have some tech forums similar to this that maybe you can find what other use, maybe a local redit site.
