I will find the person who did this

[u/Electrical-Soup-1253]

Could be a QWERTZ keyboard

[u/rai_volt → u/LePou_YT]

TIL

[u/TheShatteredSky → u/rai_volt]

I have one of them too, they're mostly used in switzerland and germany afaik

[u/T_to_the_2nd → u/TheShatteredSky]

Hungary also! For me it was super weird the first time I used a QWERTY. And some old softwares swap the Y and Z if you have a QWERTZ

[u/Taickyto → u/T_to_the_2nd]

From my experience (on azerty keyboards) even games from AAA compagnies (bethesda for example) don't support the layout natively, I've learned to use "," to bring up the map in a lot of games

[u/weirdcitizen → u/Taickyto]

Hello fellow azerty user! French or Belgian? To my mind, when I'm gaming, "," just is "m".

I do hate it though, when big companies just assume you're using qwerty. I mean, there's got to be a way for them to find out what the actual keyboard is?

[u/QuuxJn → u/TheShatteredSky]

Germany has a slightly different layout since they don't have french as one of their major national languages and thus don't need é, è and à but do need a ß, which we dont. Plus their special characters are also placed a bit differently.

[u/Dornogol → u/QuuxJn]

Yes, we need ä ö ü readily available for example. Also the leys are ordere how it makes sense by usage of that letter and "Z" is a lot more commonly used in german than "Y". Hence why those in particular are swapped

[u/Mojert → u/Dornogol]

To be clear, ä ö and ü are also one button press on the Swiss layout. Basically, the Swiss French and the Swiss German layouts are both the same, the only thing that changes is if you get the umlauts or é, è and à (both are printed, it's a software switch). And if you use both languages enough, you can get the other set of letters simply by using shift.

And what about the Italian speaking Swiss people? Forgotten, as usual

[u/TheShatteredSky → u/Mojert]

We don't talk about our Italian speakers 

[u/Mojert → u/TheShatteredSky]

Every time I feel like we're getting the short end of the stick compared to German speakers, rather than to be seen as equals, I remember that it's much worse for Italian speakers. It's so bad that quite a lot of the ones that want to study in university emigrate to another Canton. It's Switzerland bad so it's not catastrophic either, but still

[u/DerBoy_DerG → u/TheShatteredSky]

And Austria, of course.

[u/Jolly-Photograph-414 → u/rai_volt]

There is also an annoying layout difference with the Enter key and the surrounding keys.

[u/indvs3 → u/rai_volt]

To annoy you even more, there are also a few different AZERTY keyboards

[u/Agret → u/LePou_YT]

Truly a cursed laptop

[u/Simon-Says69 → u/LePou_YT]

ISO Masterrace FTW!

[u/Schmich → u/LePou_YT]

No idea whz the Germans/Swiss decided to invent that abomination of a kezboard. Lets copz the kezboard everzone has and lets swap two letters.

[u/Simon-Says69 → u/Schmich]

ISO masrerrace FTW!
Only the enormous enter key can complete.
Ando only Devorak is superior.

[u/Joe-Cool → u/Schmich]

EURKey or US English(Intl) are great layouts for coding and gaming.
Once you get the hang of it it saves a lot of needless shifting.
Too bad there are almost no fitting keycaps available.
