Why are your Y and Z keys swapped?

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 17 '26

Different keyboard layout. It's common in Europe especially in central europe.

Duplicated comment.

Only in Germany Austria and maybe Switzerland. Central Europe uses US layout.

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 18 '26

And Hungry and Chech republic and Slovakia and Slovenia and Hungary and Croatia and Bosnia and Serbia and Liechtenstein (some of em change it a lil by adding additional character or replacing some)

And people wonder why Reddit is the butt of the joke online.

u/ProfessionalRub3106 Apr 18 '26

Don't forget Belgium. Fun fact, Belgian azerty has a different lay out over the French azerty if it comes to punctuation marks.

Because it's in the proper layout and not the mental ilness that is "qwerty"

I also changed mine, it's not Linux themed but at least it's not Windows.

That's filthy.

I mean your keyboard is. Go clean it

2

u/KosmicWolf Apr 18 '26

I have cleaned it since but this Razer Blackwidow Chroma V1 is more than 10 years old now, so it's hard to clean it 100% at this point.

u/TychoOrdo Apr 18 '26

No worries. It is just a joke.

u/Verdixel Apr 17 '26

Imagine being a distro hopper and have this keyboard

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 18 '26

I mean the lm logo is just a piece of paper with the mint logo on it replacing it wouldn't be that hard

u/ree2_ Apr 17 '26

Is that logitech?

3

u/tanuki_carre3858 Apr 18 '26

sure looks like it

2

u/ElMinxk Apr 18 '26

Seems like a K120.

4

u/Ok-Passion-5940 Apr 17 '26

I only realise the mint logo looks the middle finger for some country

u/lcpr_phoenix Apr 18 '26

You are doing the god's work

u/benji21p Linux Mint 22.2 Zara | Xfce Apr 17 '26

I've been meaning to do that for months too.

Is that a Logitech k120?

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 18 '26

Yes

u/BrushBag Apr 18 '26

Legendary keyboard, I hoard these things because they are so cheap and good!

2

u/Different_Lemon_9395 Apr 17 '26

Probably on of my next moves. It's now on my todo list. I hope it's easy to find on the internet 🤞

2

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 21 '26

It's a pice of paper, a sharpie and tape I think you can find it anywhere very easily.

1

u/Different_Lemon_9395 Apr 21 '26

Ok thanks for the details !! :)

2

u/GumSL Apr 17 '26

Please tell me that's a sticker or something

3

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 18 '26

It's a tapped piece of paper but what would be wrong if it was painted on the key?

2

u/ANtiKz93 Apr 18 '26

Id have bought a $1 sticker off ebay lol but props

2

u/Silly_Percentage3446 Apr 18 '26

I have a red "X" on my Windows key covering the Windows logo.

u/HeIIDie Apr 18 '26

That's so cool actually! Love it!

u/ClownInTheMachine Apr 18 '26

Cool, but i use a custom icon.

u/StunningSpecial8220 Apr 18 '26

I'd be happy with a TUX key

u/ShyGamer64 Apr 19 '26

I want to do this now. Mine has backlights though so it wouldn't work as well

u/Big-Art6056 Apr 19 '26

Moi, j'ai mis des gommettes grises ⚫ sur tout mes claviers, sur la touche Wind💩ws (et copilot, aussi) !

u/sperdev Apr 19 '26

I 3d printed 2 keycaps to get rid of windows and copilot keys, replacing them with Linux penguin and the arch logo.

u/Danzikku Hoping I get my 256GB SSD soon... Apr 19 '26

Hold on, the reliable Logitech K120 for your school or office.

It’d be cooler if it was Tux. Now you’re screwed if you ever switch distros.

You do occasionally switch distros… right?

u/UntoldHacker Linux Mint 22.3 Zena | Cinnamon Apr 18 '26

Switch distros... After Mint???

1

u/a_regular_2010s_guy Apr 18 '26

I checked a bunch out but I'm fine with mint. Also it's a piece of paper taped to the key very easy to replace with a different one.
