Iso-FR, 100%, hot-swappable : is there such a thing?

hi there, I’m looking for a Iso-FR, 100%, hot-swappable keyboard. I could live with 96% but definitely prefer a num pad.

This Keychron is the closest I found : Keychron K10 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard (France ISO-FR Layout) – Keychron Germany

Am I chasing a wild goose or does such a Graal Keyboard exist ?

thanks in advance

Availability may be a problem, but for Keychron full-size (100% or 104%) keyboards there are also V6, V6 Max, Q6, Q6 Pro, Q6 Max, and K10 Pro (all of them have ISO variants). The “Q” ones are premium models, with a corresponding premium price tag. There are also C2 Pro and C2, but I don’t think they have ISO variants yet (it may take a while, if ever). Some have knobs and some don’t.

There are also the low-profile K5 Pro and K5 Max, but the keycap profile, look, and feel (actual real-world use) is not to everyone’s liking.

I am typing this on a V6 (Nordic layout. And modified to mitigate the blinding light).

Hotswap can be tough to find in ISO, but it looks like it’s available for the QK100. That’s in the 96% category. I’m not sure if it works for ISO-FR, specifically, but my minimal amount of learning suggests the difference among ISOs is more in the keycap selection…? Excuse my ignorance.

You might think about mill maxing a solder PCB or getting someone to do it for you. Pangea comes to mind for a full-size. Expensive, but not unreasonable for what it is, imho.

In group buy now. Bowl makes nice keyboards and seems like a nice person!
