That is not a helpful response to what is actually a serious question! Is the key map issue such that not only do we need to use one of a relatively restricted set of keyboards, but also the keyboards for one particular country are required? The symbols on the keys are different in different countries, and my guess is that this is resolved in the key map in the driver on the computer, rather than the k/b h/w.
To compound the potential for annoyance here, keyboards have a much shorter life than radios, and so many users will need to replace their keyboard at some stage. However the key mapping for even US keyboards of a particular brand may change over time, after all in their normal mode of operation, all that is required to support a revised h/w mapping is that a new mapping file is shipped to one OS company.
