I sometimes like to use English (UK) instead of English (US) as the language in Windows on my PC. Windows 8 adds this feature easily by allowing one to press the Windows key + Space to change the input method.

My question is this: what are the differences in the UK keyboard? I saw that what would be @ became " when I used the UK keyboard. What else differs in the US and UK keyboards?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I looked around and found this:

UK layout:


US layout:

The UK variant of the IBM Enhanced keyboard commonly used with personal computers designed for Microsoft Windows differs from the US layout as follows:

• an AltGr key is added to the right of the space bar
• the # symbol is replaced by the £ symbol and a 102nd key is added next to the Enter key to accommodate the displaced #
• @ and " are swapped
• the ~ is moved to the # key, and is replaced by a ¬ symbol on the backquote (`) key
• the \ key is moved to the left of the Z key
• the Enter key spans two rows, and is narrower to accommodate the # key

Hope that helps

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed.

For one, I can't seem to find the "y'all" key in the UK version.
