ähh.. please don't do that. I think if there are printed keypads it shouldn't be so difficult to get an "naked" one from Dirk.
I need the symbols on the Keypad, and i would like to have a qwertz one. (But would also accept a qwerty). A completely naked one would be a deal breaker for me.

Yes, that's the true hacker alternative :) :)
And to make it even better you should use an own layout, not qwerty nor azerty not dvorak :D

Try Maltron layout, and even better, Maltron shape for the TOHKBD XD.

I've owned both keyboards with these colours and keyboards with yellowish/gold on black, and my preference is clear.

Most of all, we need a quiet keyboard. The N900 keyboard is silent and at the same time has a great tactile feedback. I used lots of other keyboards and none had the same feeling, that's a shame. It's really important in my opinion.

this is noise:

Conclusion: no change in design, only alignmentshapes for end positions. That's ok, I'll see if it's enough when the design is ready.

If you want to know anything about the design or discuss/suggest, you can ask me, I guess, just so that I can take some hits for Dirk :D
And to start with something.

QWERTZ layout is technically impossible right now because all our "raw" keypads would most probably have QWERTY right from the factory to save costs, we're terribly sorry for that but we don't have another option for now.

Having said that I should state, that this fact does not mean there would be no way to modify that "raw" keypad to have additional characters of your taste, whole design has been developed around this idea.

That Maltron looks very inconvenient. The only one I'd like to see besides QWERTY is Dvorak.
