Buying A Uk Computer Keyboard In Phuket

[afx]

Is this possible ? All I can find is US keyboards in Banana IT, it's no doubt going to be the same in Central & festival. Anyone got any ideas ?

What is the difference as I thought all keyboards were based on the QWERTY system from typewriters of old.

They are all QWERTY but some symbols are in different places, plus there is a 'pound' key instead of the $ key (can't write the pound sign as I don't have a UK keyboard). Also when you load up the UK keyboard driver many of the symbols are mixed up when using the US keyboard.

Rather think the answer will be no.

But I use the US keyboard and then use a program called Keyboard layout manager from http://www.klm32.com to edit the keyboard file so that the £ sign comes with ctrl 3.

You can make other changes as well but to be honest moving other keys is unnecessary.

Yeah I assumed the answer would be no, just have to get a mate to bring one out when he comes over, thanks anyway.

I kind of new it would be the case so I brought a UK keyboard with me but that one perished thanks to a bottle of chang.

I have been looking for you as I do my daily trips and have not found any. I use a Spanish keyboard shipped over from the US, so I know the hassles of intl keyboards. Try ebay. Many ship to Thailand if you ask nicely enough.

Country specific QWERTY kbs are all different.

thanks, I'll only have to endure it another month till a mate brings one out with him for me.
