Hello.
Do anyone know where you could get a ISO layout of this keyboard, if it exists. I have only seen US and Japanese ones.

It does exist in ISO, but may be discontinued. I have got one in Swedish layout with a built-in trackpoint-like analogue joystick in the area between arrow and nav keys. (FKB 8738)

It is a mushy rubber dome with keys in identical profile on a curved backplane. There are also full-size PC keyboards. The Sun Type 5,6 and 7 are made the same, but the Type 5 has different keycaps that are of higher quality.

I don't think OPs board exists in ISO. Maybe the switch in it exists in an ISO format keyboard but not the 8769.
As mentioned there are only two models, the FKB8769-052 (JIS) and FKB8769-511 (US). I'm pretty sure they announced this keyboard late last year?

I've found several pictures of the innards of the FKB8769, and the sliders and rubber sheet look just the same as I remember from when I opened mine. I am not going to do that again because I remember it being difficult to put it back together again.
Maybe there isn't any ISO FKB8769, but there are keyboards in the same series that are very much like it.

Thanks for answer.
Findecanor I see that you are also from Sweden. I want to try a good rubber dome, anyone have a suggestion.
