I have recently got a mechanical keyboard, MX blue keys and backlighting. However, it is a US layout.
I am undecided whether to keep it and get used to the different layout or to to sell it and buy a UK layout keyboard instead. If I did buy another keyboard it would probably be a non mechanical one as a new mechanical would be too expensive.
As far as I know I could set my keyboard layout to US but leave my language and regional settings to UK. Some of the keys are in a different position and there is no £ key. Also it would mean swapping between layouts whenever I used another computer.
Just wondered if anyone here uses a US layout with UK language settings? If so do you find it difficult to swap between the layouts and how do you type £s? Any other issues?
