Wrong position of @ key on UK keyboard?

Just got my new macbook (late 08 aluminium)

Why is the @ key on the number 2, instead of the normal place?
It's a UK model.

Did you buy it from the Apple Site and did you use the UK store?

it's the same on mine. l also got the the apple keyboard for my desktop, and the @ symbol is also in the place of number 2. I tried plugging it into a windows computer though and windows maps it back to the normal place.

my " @ " button is on my #2 button as well..and ive got the white 2.4 macbook so mebe its the apple trademark..O_O...?

@ bad.heron....does it matter where you bought it from? is it US models that have the @ key there or something?

what's the normal place for the "@" symbol?


nvm just noticed you said uk

I ordered it from the HE store over the phone.

So is every UK model's @ key on the 2 button?

Sorry, folks, that's where the @ key always is on Apple keyboards - UK or US, iBook or iMac, etc.

Now then, for your next test, find the " key

Cheers

Traditionally the US layout of the keyboard has the @ symbol above the two. I asked as I have ordered a macbook and wondered if mine would be the same.

Judging from the comment above i think it is safe to say Apple adopts the US keyboard layout as standard/generic.

Well, crisis over! Thanks guys.

Well Apple is a US company even if the units are manufactured in China!

Here down under, where keyboards have come from Malaysia, Singapore and China over the years, always above the 2.
