Hi. I wanted to know if the y and z keys are the same shape and therefore interchangeable. Thanks

MinesZ should be Row 4 profile, where the Y is generally Row 2 profile. They're essentially the same shape, but the flipped 180º.

MinesWhich layout are you looking for? If you're looking for Colemak, you should get the DC kit.

MinesMakes sense. I think you will need the NORDEUK set for QWERTZ, since I see an R2 Z and an R4 Y key in that set.

MinesYou could go with two sets of the blank alphas and be done with it for $20 USD...

MinesThat'll work, but there are no mods kits that will fit the uniform profile of the Adaptive Alphas.

MinesYou could always swap the Y and Z keys, rotating them 180º so they fit in their respective rows, but that look would bother me.

MinesAlternate layouts will always have problems finding compatible keys, so you either spend the bucks for proper keys, live with a different layout appearance, or use a non-sculpted, flat profile like SA Ice Caps or Adaptive Alphas in this set which are all R3.

Cyphre@Mines What @Cyphre said. Keep in mind that the Adaptive Alphas kit was designed for picky ortho folks who wanted this on their Planck, but didn't want the sculpted layout.

MinesYou don't have to pay $70. I'm buying that ISO full set, I only need caps to cover ISO UK, then i will be selling rest of the caps. You can have stuff to cover qwertz, if you want.

XyverzUhm guys, you can only turn the Z upside down because it's mirrored vertically, while the Y is mirrored horizontally. You'll end up with this: ⅄
