    I did look, its not QWERTY, its QWERTZ. Z and Y are swapped and there are umlauted vowel keys in place of symbol keys. Not your standard QWERTY keyboard which is why I expressed my concern

    The one you linked to is QWERTZ as well, not QWERTY. If the different keys are going to be an issue for him then it does make quite a difference.

    That's a German layout or something like that. It's some European keyboard layout.

    The one I linked to is for the UK market and in the pdf the Z and Y are not transposed - it's QWERTY. In the second link they are transposed - I think that's a photo shoot mistake. UK keyboards are QWERTY.

    The pdf version is actually a different model keyboard. They are both the 540 series but they are definitely different. The shape, trackpad, and light bar are most noticeable. Which makes sense as the original poster's link says they make it in different languages.

    My point was that his link, the specific model he linked to, is QWERTZ, not QWERTY, and in knowing they make different keyboards for different languages then the need to be cautious when finding one for purchase is important.

    That's all I was trying to say, to help with. Not which one of these links has a qwerty keyboard, while others are different. The point is they make different types of keyboards so watch out for that when buying.
