Have you checked prices compared to overseas though. Even if you add VAT they are still more expensive. With the euro crashing it the price disparity is reduced though. But it was annoying 2-3 years ago.
depends where you look I guess, I think in east asia it's cheaper, but that might be because they're mostly produced there.
remember to not include USA because they do not compute sales tax on the list price, only after check-out.
Amazon.de has US keyboard layouts (I bought three different products from them with US keyboards) and all the "brick-and-mortar" stores in Sweden which stock mech keyboards have the native nordic layout.
they are very much available in the EU, your point about having the native layouts is true though- but that will be true for all keyboards in all counties- people always stock the native and almost never another countries.
