This is because someone can't be arsed to make a dedicated Norwegian/Swedish/Danish keyboard. Norway and Denmark uses æ/ø/å. But ofc not the same key position. Sweden ä/ö/å. The same goes for several of the other keys. What they type depends on language used
Different countries have different languages, alphabets and keyboard layouts. Scandinavian countries keyboards are quite commonly produced together because they share most but not all of the letters, symbols and positions. This looks pretty standard to me.
Edit: As a user from respective country you learn fast to read automatically the position for shared keys before you learn touch typing or looking for an uncommonly used symbol. The real annoyance is when laptop makers switch up key positions because they think they know better.
To explain more specifically for those that are, like me, curious but unfamiliar:
We're all just going to ignore the ,|'/` key?
the left side is equally cursed
How often do most people use § and ½ !? Is a dedicated key really necessary?
I work as an engineer in an governmental capacity. Use § daily when writing letters citing legislation.
§ is common in meeting minutes and legal texts. dunno about ½ though
"common" really depends on context
i thought "in the context of which this keyboard layout is useful" was fairly implicit in this case
The key to the right of Å is you looking at this keyboard.
I bought a laptop with a Swedish keyboard since I'll be studying there for a few years. It's a learning curve for sure and this face is accurate
I once had a laptop with (I think) Swedish kb (that I bought during my studies in Latvia), but it wasn't this loaded. Judging by the comments, this seems to be a mixed Scandinavian kb layout, for multiple languages.
This is called Nordic layout. I believe it’s demographic is Norway, Denmark, and Sweden (maybe Finland also).
This looks like a Norwegian/Swedish keyboard. What’s infuriating about it?
It's a nordic keyboard, and it's infuriating that it's imposible to tell which key is Æ and which is Ø. Just decide on one key for each for f..ks sake.
It's easy. If you're swedish, look for the swedish letters. If you're danish, look at the first letter, and if you're norwegian look at the second.
So it's the danish who are the odd ones.
Always was
Always will be.
It’s easy.
Just be Swedish.
As they say in Sweden, Scandinavian is one language, except that the Norwegians can’t spell it and the Danes can’t pronounce it.
It must be hard being a Swede.
Best regards,
Norway
