    Grin wat keyboard layout is this?




    Ignore the lack of F1-F12 and other important keys, but focus on how there's two \ keys and no apostrophe key. I bought a new keyboard and when I went home, I found that the keyboard is very odd looking.

    Is this an alternate layout? I have a numeric keypad shoved in the side, with the pgup/pgdown keys functional as long as numlock isn't pressed (very bizarre as it is)

    halp ;D

    On your picture, there's an apostrophe key, to the right of the semicolon key

    Otherwise it looks like a compact US qwerty keyboard layout. Having duplicate keys isn't too surprising, my previous laptop actually had the "| \" key in triple.

    And then there is Death

    Slightly OOC: Do any major retailers sell Dvorak keyboards? I know you could just pop up all the keys of your existing keyboard and rearrange them physically (or just not look down) but I'm just curious.

    the apostrophe key is ' and when I was first using the keyboard it would require two hits to use. And it didn't used to be the ' key either (confused yet?)

    just very odd. xD I might look into seeing how to rebind keys to change the second \ into a shift cuz I keep hitting it -_-

    What's weirding me out the most is how the numbers are all shifted to the right.

    Yeah, the Esc Key and Squiggly Key shouldn't be on the same line.

    It looks normal to me. It just doesn't have the F1-12 keys, so since there's need for Esc to have its own line, it got pushed down to the ~-Backspace line. *shrug*

    Loads fine now, I guess imageshack was being retarded yesterday. And it's some sort of qwerty anyway, but i have no idea why someone's on screen keyboard would look like that, it's definitely not normal.

    Because my laptop's keyboard actually looks like that (or rather, it's a reasonable facsimile)
