can I rearrange the keys on a das keyboard from QWERTY to Dvorak?

Question

I hate to ask this here, but many people on stackoverflow have talked about the Das.

I want to get the version with the printed keys - and since they don't sell a printed key version already set up for Dvorak, I hoped to rearrange the keys myself.

OK, I know that I can, but...

my dell sk-8115 keyboard did not manage the conversion from qwerty to dvorak gracefully since keys on different rows are different shapes/heights/angles.

Unfortunately, I can not find any information that tells me if the key blocks are shaped differently on different rows - and das keyboard support has not been back in touch with me.

Answer 1

I was finally able to reach support @ das keyboards and now have the official answer.

They said:

All of our key-caps have the same height as well as the same symmetry and therefore will not lead to staggered keys. Nevertheless, if you want to rearrange the key-caps, this will void your keyboard warranty. (please refer to our manual on our website.)

Voiding the warranty seems harsh, especially considering how easily the key-caps are removed (seen in a youtube video), but I think it's going to be worth it.

Hopefully someone will find this useful.
