Hi,

It seems the the @ and " are reversed between US and UK for whatever
reason.  The (") is the shift of the (') key in the US.

This is the layout of my wistech keyboard             ( / denotes
shifted)
   `/~  2/@  3/#  4/$  5/%  6/^  7/&  8/*  9/(  0/)  -/_  =/+ backspace
  q  e  r  t  y  u  I  o  p  [/{  ]/}  \/|
   a  s  d  f  g  h  j  k  l  ;/:  '/"  enter
    z  x  c  v  b  n  m  ,/<  ./>  //? shift


Thanks and have a Great Day!

Hi Ian, we usually use the standard 'qwerty' keyboard as we call it,
which means that the @ key is usually placed here:
a,s,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,;/;,'/@,#/~  (did that make sense?) hope so. I must
admit, out of pure laziness at times, I am aware that windows usually
loads with the US defaults, and I sometimes put up with the @ being
above the 2 on the layout........which leaves me with another problem,
where's the " ? LOL Michele Sayer.

> So, where is the @ key on a UK keyboard?
