Daily driver since the day I built her in 2014. In 2019, she got this makeover with a set of Godspeed keycaps.

Elder Futhark? I'm interested on the layout. Do both ⟨ᚲ⟩ behave the same, or is it just cosmetic replacement for ⟨C K⟩?

It's as you say, just cosmetic-- I assume that there's only one C/K sound in the runic alphabet. The main thing differentiating them is that they're different rows in the SA profile. I'll be honest, I don't know much about the runes. I went for it for the aesthetic; my choices to match the godspeed colorscheme were runic or cyrillic, and I thought this had a bit more vibe to it.

Got it! There's just ⟨ᚲ⟩ for the phoneme /k/ (as in cute, kill, queue). Looking further you also doubled ⟨ᚹ⟩ for both ⟨W⟩ and ⟨V⟩, those look fairly reasonable adaptations.
Cyrillic would give you the opposite issue - too many letters, you'd need to "cull" some of them out. And looks-wise I think that Futhark rocks.
