Thanks for your response. (Native german speaker here also.)

I tried what you suggested:

# localectl set-x11-keymap fr_CH-latin1 pc105 nodeadkey

As is to be expected, this modifies /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf:

# Read and parsed by systemd-localed. It's probably wise not to edit
this file
# manually too freely.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "fr_CH-latin1"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkey"
EndSection

Unfortunately, to no avail. When I create a new user from here, KDE's
keyboard still defaults to US.

This looks like a CentOS bug to me: unable to define a non-US
system-wide keyboard when using KDE.

Cheers,

Niki
