UK Windows Keyboard on a Mac Book Pro

It started well. I just plugged in the keyboard and it appeared to work. Until I tried typing an email and the ‘to’ line came out with a ” instead of an @. Aha! Simple – just change the keyboard layout.

That’s a lot easier said than done in OSX Lion. For a start there does not appear to be a set of keyboard layouts to choose from.

Enter Ukelele. This tool lets you create custom keyboard layouts. All I actually needed to do was take the Logitech UK International keyboard and remap the | key as everything else was as I needed.

Now I can finally use my old Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 with my Mac.
