Germany uses QWERTZ layout.

The rest of the universe uses QWERTY layout.

You can set your keymap to UK layout to fix the Y-Z issue but some punctuation symbols might get switched around too, donno.  UK has punctuation in different places than USA.

In any case, if you set your keymap to have the Y key in the normal place, the writing on your Y-key will stay say "Z".  At a minimimum its confusing.  If it was me it would be fantastically annoying.

You set the language of the OS on any Amiga.  That is not a problem at all.

You could buy a $3.00 set of stickers and cover up the Z key and the other key with the proper symbols.  If they swapped around any other symbols, punctuation, etc. maybe u could fix those with stickers also.  Dunno.  Depending on what they did it could get really complicated.

I only learned of German QWERTZ layout a couple of months ago.  Until then I just assumed everyone used the same layout.  HA!


Or you could just pop the key tops off and swap the Y and Z around... Too simple?
