Trying to find out how difficult (or not) it will be to switch from iso layout to ansi. Main reason is the much better choice of keycaps that will be available.

Have any of you made the switch ? If so how difficult was it ?

That's the problem with this hobby. I'm really used to ANSI ES and it's a pain to get spanish keycaps. My solution was go for 40% and forget about what's printed on keycaps.

More power to you. I alwqsw wonder how people manage with 40% keyboards

Lots of layers and not having a problem with being slower. 40% is definitely not faster. It's more ergonomic in my opinion, though.
