There are many keyboards on ebay, which are French, Dutch, German.

I want a Uk one.

Will this work fine in the UK? It doesn't say any other country, but neither says uk.

Added - When I mean uk working, I mean Uk standard, - that all they keys work in the UK fine, with the corresponding letter to the keys.

    The picture shows a £ sign over the 3 and the description says 106 standard UK layout keys

    Whatever layout it would still work in the UK, just that the legend on the key wouldn't correspond to the character on screen.

    It does actually say that it is UK layout and it has the £ sign in the correct place.

    I've pasted the specific details copied from their website below

    High Quality Brand New Black USB 2.0 Slim Keyboard - UK Layout.

    If it should display incorrect symbols when you use it then you can change the settings to a UK keyboard through the Control Panel (via country location etc). It's unlikely that you would have to do that with a simple keyboard exchange.

    Alternatively you could get the following from PC World and save 25p
