Difference between US and UK

Cheers for the replies, The return button seems to be smaller. Could I still use the £ sign on a US layout if my computer keyboard settings are still set to the UK layout?

Also if i order a US keyboard layout online and i cannot get used to the keys mainly Return can i send it back under the Distance Selling Act? (There's no UK layouts back in stock until after Christmas... My 50% discount expires before then; Logitech G19)

I'd personally look for a UK version. There's usually one if you look hard enough. However the US version will be fine. You can use any symbol you like. If the worst comes to the worst. Copy and paste the "£" sign from this post :D

I'm buying from the Logitech Store due to me having a 50% discount voucher. They don't have the G19 (UK) in stock until after christmas... Voucher only lasts a month. So if my computer is set to the UK layout can i still press Shift + 3 for the "£" sign?
 
Another difference that is probably irrelevant for all of you is that on a US keyboard you can use letters like ö, ë, é, à, ç, etc. For people like me writing in Dutch and French sometimes that is a must so I always pick a US keyboard (used to use the AZERTY layout but that soon got old when switching to a mate's computer or at work).
 
The backslash key is also in a different place (it's above the enter key which is smaller) and the left hand shift is larger because of that.
 
Yes. The physical differences is the Return key.

But for labeling etc - there're a few differences with keys. You can look at the photos linked above to see them.

I personally prefer the large enter key and would wait.
 
yes. just change your current OS to english US and it won't work, as well as the @ key being shift+2. an american keyb with english UK would be the reverse
 
Might do that, don't really want to wait ages though :/

If i get the US keyboard then change my region and language keyboard settings to UK i should be able to use the £ sign shouldn't i?
 
I have no idea. I switch between the two fairly often so I don't really notice the differences anymore, so I don't change the keyboard settings.
