Hi,

 

I have the keyboard you can see in the attached picture and I'm trying to find out which layout it is.

 

I bought it pretty much 2 years ago directly from Logitech and now want to buy another one with the same layout.

I'm pretty sure that at the time I had bought US-International layout, alas this is no longer showing as an option on their site.

When I contacted Logitech they told me I should get the DUTCH (QWERTY) layout, as it would be the same.

However when I searched on Google for that layout, the ones that were presented didn't match up.

Also tried searching using the Product and Serial Numbers on my keyboard, but they don't seem to be related to a specific keyboard layout.

 

Does anyone know for sure what keyboard layout I have?

Many thanks!!

I don't what's not to get, you've got a standard american qwerty layout?

It's not standard American QWERTY. Notice it has the Alt GR + Euro symbol.

 

OP - the Netherlands Logitech website has the solar keyboard with the same layout. Link

With that keyboard I can do all kinds of accents. I write in 4 different languages and I need to do the ?, ?, ?, ?, etc...

The second key to the right of the L allows me to do the portuguese c with a tilde below it, whereas on a standard keyboard it only comes out as 'c, you cannot combine them. Same goes for other symbol keys.

The problem I have is that in I'm in Germany and I can't just look around in stores. They have nothing but German keyboard layouts in the shops. The only place I can get a different layout is buying directly from Logitech, however what they tell me I have from the picture above is not the same as what I come up with when I search through Google for Dutch (qwerty).

That keyboard layout is very close to it, but also not the same. Thanks

Even though the UK and US keyboard layout look similar, the function of the keys is different.

 

Whereas you have keys with the " `~ " symbols (top left), or " ' " " (between L and ENTER), you cannot combine them with other keys. In the UK version when I press the " key it only makes the ". In the US International I can combine it with other letters to type ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, etc... That is the main difference.

 

Thank you for your suggestions, the US International layout is indeed what I currently have.

 

 

By the way, I just got an answer from Logitech, which might help other people with the same issue. It is in german but I'll try to translate:

 

"Um das US International Layout zu erhalten m?ssen Sie bei der Layout auswahl Dutch ausw?hlen. In Holland sind die meisten Tastaturen QWERTY (US International) und deshalb wurde Dutch aufgelistet anstatt US International, da sonst die holl?ndischen Kunden dieses Layout nicht finden k?nnen."

 

Basically it says:

 

"In order to order the US International Layout you have to select the Dutch layout when presented with the Keyboard Layout Menu. In the Netherlands most keyboards are QWERTY (US International) and that is why Dutch is listed instead of US International, as otherwise Dutch customers would not find this layout."

 

Makes no sense to me. Why not include a Dutch and US International layout to the menu but point them to the same box afterwards. It's just a word play.

 

Anyway, I'm going to order the Dutch layout now and see if it is really as they say.

 

Thanks again for your help!!

    • It is only available on Echo shows and the U.S. at the moment, so a million is pretty good I suppose. I hope when it does come to us all it can be disabled if not wanted, without having to get rid of Amazon Prime.
    • Uber wants to bring them to London, not that I live in London, but even if I did, I would not use them. I prefer having a human driving the car, not rely on some computer.
    • There is nobody to challenge the status quo. Foldables have not taken off as expected. People are holding onto their existing phones for a lot longer. There is movement happening in the handheld console space, but those are not phones. Both Apple and Google are involved in legal fights. Yet they have to stick to releasing a new OS every year... It all adds up.
    • Elon Musk once again claims Tesla robotaxis are coming soon by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has announced a tentative start date of June 22 for the company's long-awaited public robotaxi service. According to a post on his social media platform X, the initial launch will be in Austin, Texas. Musk added a significant condition, however, saying "We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift." The service is expected to begin with just 10 to 20 Model Y SUVs operating within a limited area and with remote human supervision. He also mentioned a plan starting June 28 for new Teslas to drive themselves from the factory to a customer's home. This is a moment many are probably waiting for, though it comes with a heavy dose of skepticism. Musk has made grand promises about self-driving before. This robotaxi network brings to mind the bold claims from all the way back in 2019 when the company said a similar service would launch the following year. That evidently did not happen. Federal regulators also have their doubts. Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration criticized Tesla for making its "Full Self-Driving" feature sound more capable than it actually is, demanding the company align its marketing with reality. Tesla is also driving into a field that is no longer empty. Waymo, Google's sibling company, is already a major player, offering hundreds of thousands of paid rides per week across Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Austin. The company is so far ahead that it has begun testing in Tokyo. But being ahead means Waymo is also the first to face certain dangers. For example, on the evening of June 8, a group of protesters in downtown Los Angeles summoned Waymo vehicles during a demonstration. When the vehicles arrived, they slashed the tires, smashed the windows, and spray-painted the cars before setting three of them on fire. Which raises a thorny question for Tesla: if you can summon a car with no one inside, can you summon it just to destroy it? It's one thing for protesters to stumble upon a robotaxi and vandalize it; it's another for someone to use the app to call a driverless car to a secluded spot for a planned attack. With public sentiment around Musk so divided, especially given his DOGE shenanigans and his recent face off with Donald Trump, that's not just a theoretical problem. We've already seen this hostility play out in attacks where people vandalize Teslas, carving swastikas into them and spray painting slogans like "Burn More Teslas" on walls.
