So that new keyboard I bought? They sent me a French azerty instead of a Belgian azerty layout. Meaning the special keys are in the wrong places.

It's from a third party vendor. Here was me thinking I was getting a good deal on a second hand product in a box that had been opened but returned. Think I can guess why that happened.

I contacted support who will contact the third party but I have a bad feeling about this already. Both the third party and website where I ordered this are Dutch and they are used to Qwerty. Guess I should have bought on a Belgian website at full price :(

    If it's a mechanical keyboard, and has the switches in the right positions (ISO/ANSI/etc layout) you can just buy a new keycap set and change the caps. Cheaper than a new board, at least.

    @tullo-x86 It is. Didn't know that was an option. I'll keep that in mind.

    Belgian key layout also means I can't buy a lot of laptops :(

    @ThatDude The keys that are wrong are the special characters on the numbers so you can't just fix it by moving them. I type mostly blind but sometimes I still have to look.
