Buying International Keyboards?

Posted by Cliff on from the not-everything-is-QWERTY dept.

dmayle asks: "I've been investigating the purchase of some non-US keyboards for the flexibility it would give me in correspondences (easy access to the Euro symbol, accented characters, etc.). Specifically, I've been looking at U.K. keyboards, which are still QWERTY (as opposed to the German QWERTZ, or the French AZERTY), even if some of the punctuation is placed a little differently. The problem I have is that I can't find a U.K. company willing to ship keyboards out of the U.K. So, where does the Slashdot crowd go to satisfy their internationalization need? Any favorite importers? (Not just for keyboards, but in general.)"

    Ooh, look at that "Linux 101" keyboard with the Ctrl, Caps-Lock and Esc keys in the right places. They have two layouts, 1 and 2. Layout 2 looks better to me.
