No ISO, yet again. It's like people outside the USA simply don't use keyboards.

atomicusafaik most countries outside the USA still use ANSI - just Europe doesn't.

sevenseacatGranted, many other countries do use ANSI, but with the exception of the Netherlands, all of Europe is ISO, and that's "just" a 700m+ population. That would equate to countless (now lost) potential customers for these key sets.

atomicusThe problem is that Massdrop is a US based country, which means the European market makes up a significantly smaller portion of their revenue, therefore making it not economically viable to provide an ISO equivalent. Keep in mind also that their options are limited by what the manufacturer chooses to provide. I'm not sure about this set, but it's entirely possible the manufacturer didn't make an ISO equivalent.

atomicusIf everyone just moved to the USA there would be a lot less crying going on globally.
Seriously though, I dunno if anyone checked but this is not a Japanese, Mexican, or European site. If it is your complaints would be valid, but since it is not - they are not valid and that means you are wasting the only resource you have worth anything. If you had not noticed this site does not cater to a global audience.
So armed with both pieces of this information now, will we still see people continue to complain that keyboard keys aren't being released for their tiny country with less than a handful of people from your nation shopping here. Or will all the special snowflakes keep coming here to remind us that no one is shipping keys to Uruguay.

P1MPBOT5000I wondered how long it would take for someone to claim Massdrop to be USA only. Go Trump!! And you wonder why the rest of the world doesn't like you very much... or maybe you don't.
Something seriously wrong with you if you think my complaint is not valid. Unbelievable.

P1MPBOT5000dumbest comment ever... under your logic you should not use a phone since it was made in china... Even more, their OS should be in chinese because the factory is in china.
Same with a lot of other websites you use.

ViXoZuDoWhat I am saying is that if you do not live in the USA set your f'n expectations right. Seems really difficult for you guys to come to any form of reality about your situation. When massdrop focuses on an international community you will see internationalization.
I never claimed this stuff doesn't work in other nations - what I am claiming is that people in other nations can't seem to get their shit in order enough to do their own massdrop and that the result is all of you come here to cry about the fact that USA does have its shit in order and that an American website focuses on goods for American consumers and not tiny nations with small amount of interested consumers.
I also could give two shits if "the world likes us". You obviously like us enough to come spend your money with us - and what does that say about you yeh f'n hypocrite. That's some emotional appeal bullshit - weaksauce. Both of you cried even harder when you got your bullshit called.
