Maybe a bit of an odd request but does anyone know of somewhere where I can get a 105 key UK Keyboard layout graphic? Just a basic line diagram not a photo would be best - I did google it but never found one that includes the Function keys etc.

Thanks!
 
Theo1881's second link shows a UK layout. The function keys are just the same on a UK keyboad as any other keyboard.

Oops! Well spotted, Nelveticus!
 
And another oops - I meant theo's first link, not the second one [blush]

Can't get the staff! <grin>

ever tried using a foreign keyboard changed to a uk layout - more fun than you can shake a stick at !
 
Nah! I just swap the keycaps round a bit. Only the touch typists remain unruffled.
 
thanks for your answers, but (sorry!)... anyone know of any with all of the characters such as !"£$ etc

Rick was close with his euro keyboard, it needs to be UK though- qwertz keyboard?! is that right? qwerty here :)

I would have thought there were loads of them out there but it seems not the case!

Thanks
 
@Hondy - the first link by Theo1881 shows all keys, except the EURO symbol, which is ALT-GR+4...
I should know, since I use an ENGLISH style Keyboard, although I am German I learned to type in an Am. HighSchool, and the AM KBD is similar to the UK version... plus the KBD was free ( a throw away from Siemens)...

This is an interesting page - - but I have Cymru extended UK keyboard language settings which might account for my mapping being different with AltGR and AltGR+Shift.

I know you weren't loking for a photo, but nevertheless: As you can see, "€", "$" and "4" all share the same key.

bigbadben - true it does, but the keyboard is split into 2 keyboards which is no good for what I need :/

Thanks bigjohnd, but I was looking for all the keys on one keyboard layout - I guess I should have specified that point, sorry! :)

I think I'm going to have to draw one myself from a blank layout :/

Thanks for the replies :)
 
should be fairly easy to create in excel but without exact alignment
 
ps - the above is ok if you dont want the now customary windows key !
 
Thanks Theo, that will do just perfectly!
