Reply to comment by LoganJFisher in My keyboard is Odin, my keycaps are Norse. Valhalla seems appropriate. by phero1190

You are confusing keycaps with layouts and layers. You can always buy a CRP set with keycaps with greek legends but that won’t make your keyboard actually output them.

At the same time if your keyboard uses QMK you can always use a greek layout on a layer.

Or use a greek layout from your OS settings.

Of course you can do all three but it isn’t the manufacturers fault for not providing for your specific needs, apparently greek is more niche than hiragana :)

I'm not confusing anything.

Remembering an entire alphabet layer without a visual guide is just very difficult.

As somebody who also employs the greek alphabet you can always bind alpha to the A key, beta to the B key, Gamma to the G key and so on.

Sure, but not every Greek letter has an easy analogue and a few of their names start with the same letter. Ultimately, it would just be best to have bilingual keycaps to create a guide.

Just try to use this as a template for the greek layer and buy the keycaps when they're available (these are GB only usually but sometimes are in stock, also look at r/mm).
