See anything wrong with the keyboard?

An entire row of letters is wrong. Thats not just one model though its in thousands. How do you get that wrong???

lol nothing wrong with that keyboard. Its Swedish =)

lol i used to hav a screwed up keyboard in that if i tried to type a " i would get ' so to get " i had to type ' but i cudnt get the @ sign cos that would also come out as " and the £ + $ signs came up as ! lol

that keyboard is exactly the same as mine, and mine is a HP

same key layout as mine too. different doesnt = wrong ;)

This keyboard was sent to the UK and the US as in the United States. This is an  actual computer keyboard that was being sold with the Vostro 1310 a few thousand were sold before they realised the problem.

It says 1310 while it's 2008! LOLOLOL!

OMFG! Spoon! GENIUS!!!

Huh? American and English keyboards are mostly QWERTY.

Dell Taco = Epic Fall...

There's nothing wrong with that keyboad. Just because it's different than some doesn't mean it's wrong...
As it stands, it's almost identical to every other keyboard I've ever seen and as there are 4 that I use regularly, and about a dozen others that I've used at other times that's a pretty darn good sampling.

It is wrong if its shipped to the wrong country. Please consider this. About 3000 people bought this labtop. This labtop was then sent to America, its true that it is the UK version  and the swedish from the looks of it but Americans have never typed using those types of Keyboards so they all had to be recaled.

Labtop?  Laptop my friend... Laptop.....

But it tastes horrible...

Must be at the wrong Dell Taco, I ate a bean burrito and the beans were crunchy!

there is one key out of place, thats it, and yes, i have an american keyboard.

Major Failure...? No... It just doesn't work.

Blood Spill and any others having the problems of £ coming out as $ and @ as ' etc

This is because your keyboard was most likely shipped, at some point, from America, and the keyboard settings are set to English US.

Windows XP: Start> Settings> Control Panel> Regional and Language Options> Click the drop down menu and simply select your country and designated language. (English (United Kingdom), why can't Americans just use "American" or simply use our English.. instead of trying to be original and stealing ours?)

Windows Vista: I don't know, think of this as a punishment for being stupid enough to buy Vista.

and to the OP, yes, a few keys are swapped around, hardly the end of the world but I can see what you mean about them not realising till they had shipped, that's pretty incompetent.
