German keyboard layout problem

It has a german keyboard but instead of the qwertz layout it has a qwerty layout. I tried all keyboard and language input combinations but did not find a correct combination in Win 7. The best one is german with german. Now how can I swap/map the z and y?

The uses for mapping your keyboard are numerous, but remapping your keyboard's keys is not for the squeamish.
There are numerous software applications to map and remap a keyboard's keys.
The best part is that the software is free and easily downloadable via the Internet.
So, go ahead and swap those unused keys on your keyboard to suit your computing experience, and make your keyboard more effective without fear of damaging your computer

Place your mouse pointer over a key on the visual keyboard. Notice that the key is numbered.
To see what function the key is currently assigned to, allow your mouse pointer to hover over the key.
A pop-up displays what the key is attributed to.
Left-click the mouse pointer on a key you wish to change.
Click on Choose New Remapping from the drop-down menu.
Select Remap Key from the Control area on the interface.
You may also opt to disable or enable the key, and reset the default for this key.

Left-click Apply. Look at the list box at the top-left of the interface, labeled "Remapped keys currently in effect."
Ensure that the keyor keys you selected are listed in this list box.

Fix a mistake by resetting the defaults.
Click on the top button adjacent to the list box you just visited.
Pressing this button will remove all the changes to your keyboard mapping.
SharpKeys is a Registry hack that is used to make certain keys on a keyboard act like other keys.

Hi I bought a new Mac with an Azerty keyboard, want to change to an QWERTZ in swiss/german. where do I get the driver and how to install?? thanks for your help Bob

I would suspect that all you need to do is go to system preferences under the apple menu and then go to Langauge and text and then click on Input Sources. Then select swiss german under the left hand menu.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I spilled water some time ago on my Acer Extensa 7620Z laptop. The only real problem was that the keyboard stopped working correctly. Instead of having the laptop fixed, I just used an external USB...

yes it is. just make sure that you order the right one. the best way of doing so is to take off your current keyboard and on the back of it you will find the serial number. you need this because you might order the "fitting" keyboard but with different keyboard layout ()qwerty, azerty, russian, spanish, german...
But if you go for the serial number, you will get the same one like you have now.
