keyboard-layoutlaptop

I want to replace the US keyboard on my laptop with a UK one. I thought that UK keyboards were 102 and US were 101 as my Uk one has a (#) key and the US one doesn't.

But the UK replacement part keyboard specifies 101 keys, so I am now confused. Can someone set me straight on this…!

Best Answer

Some languages that use considerably more than 26 letters has 102 key keyboard leyouts. Spanish and Hungarian are two examples. For English, 101 keys should be enough. There might be slight differences in the layout, but the important thing is that you set the layout in your OS the same as it is on your keyboard.
