Hi Phil, If you can get an American 103 key layout, you will be able to simply use the UK layout. However, American 101/102 key layout lack the backslash key to the left of the Z. Also, aside from the Pound Currency Key a whole bunch of other keys are in different places. It will drive you up the proverbial wall - trust me - I have an American USB keyboard in the office which I bought cheap over there when I needed one to run with my laptop. 10 minutes of browsing and e-mailing with an American layout, and you'll be begging for your old keyboard back. George. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phil Stephenson Sent: 11 September 2004 23:01 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] reassigning =C2=A3 key on US keyboard Evening all, I'm looking at buying a Logitech cordless mouse and natural keyboard, have looked on eBay and there are some for sale very cheaply, however, they are US ones and state that they have no '=C2=A3-pound' key. Is it possible to reassign the dollar or other key to produce the =C2=A3 sign?
