Not really. It's the US keyboards that are weird. You're ~ is in the wrong place, and it really pisses me off in games.

Yeah you don't have £'s on your keyboards, but we have $'s on ours...thats real fair
Dollar signs are necessary in computer coding so that's probably why they have them on most (all?) keyboards.
But I'm Scottish so I've got £s too. And €s.

what do they have instead of the "£" sign on their keyboards?
omg!! shift + 4 could be ANYTHING!! :eek:
Shift + 4 is the $. Where's yours?
my $ is on shift + 4
the £ is on shift + 3
the € is also on the 4, but thats ctrl + alt + 4 (not to be confused with ctrl + alt + del. especially not to be confused twice)

but I don't know how to activate it from there

the craziest ones are french. trying to touch type while avoiding all the accented letters in a random internet cafe in paris is an odd experience!

I had never seen the € sign before. I feel special now. ↓ ß ® ♪ Ø

you can also use the numpad ascii coding to make them.
157 = ¥ 156 = £

So, how many kilos of marijuana are you bringing home from this "business" trip?

thats weird. then both your ~ and # keys are in different places, cos they're both on the same key for us.
so what is the key below "]" and above Rshift, right of "@" and "'", and left of return?
wow i don't think never thought i'd ever use that much punctuation in a sentence :p

There is no key between the ] and the Rshift on my keyboard, @ is shift+2 and ' is the leftmost key on the number row above qwerty. Very different.

My keyboard has °, §, ², ³, ß, ä, ö, ü, µ, €. And àáèéùúìíòóý can be typed with two strokes. And the Y and Z are switched.
I live in the US.
