Swapping physical keys on Qwertz keyboard

tom23

Howdy Folks,

I bought a second hand HP Elitebook C1030 CHROMEBOOK for my daughter. It has a Qwertz keyboard (German layout). Anyone know if it's possible to physically switch the keys on this? Or is it wishful thinking...

Cheers folks

What I mean by physically switching the keys I mean switching Z and Y so it becomes a qwerty keyboard.

Check on line for videos of someone having done it to that model. Time was keys were easy to pop off and snap on again, but in the quest for thinner and cheaper keyboards aren't as forgiving.

Alternatively get some keyboard stickers https://www.temu.com/ie/2pcs-english-keyboard-stickers-universal-keyboard-letters-replacement-sticker-white-font-on-black-background-for-computer-laptop-notebook-desktop-matte-english-keyboard-alphabet-stickers-g-601099521775386.html
