Hermes H16 - Similar to TA Gabriele 7007 L : Far from perfect - but getting closer :

You'll se that it'll come in handy some day to have escalator open and close door keys, yes and no keys (why is yes down and no up?), a "buckling spring force diagram for the E key" key, two § keys and three flavors of XXX keys.

Danish ISO-layout keyboard is a bitch to populate with nice caps ..
It's one of the reasons I like Big-Ass *Return*, that way there is no key to the left of 'Ø'
With this cap-set, a ANSI-board would be perfect, but Access have a minimum order of 10 units

I found some of them in Italian layout, but not for cheap (ranging from 40 up to 200€). Also, apparently not all them have dye subs.

Same in Denmark, people still remember how much a typewriter used to cost !
But it's a good way to get nice key-caps in the more obscure languages, like mine ...

We have a list going on TA (and the TA 'Royal brand')

Nice list! Another annoyance is that italian typewriters used to use the silly QZERTY layout as shown on pic, as opposed to QWERTY we use on keyboards. But maybe those keycaps all have the same profile?

Z and W don't have the same profile, the rest do .
But the numbers are shifted and non-alphanumeric characters are probably also different on typewriters ..


BTW :
