Change of Keyboard - QWERTZ for QWERTY

[BetoLenda]

Hi everyone! Currently I have QWERTZ Germany keycaps (because I ordered it from there). I want to change them to the English one (QWERTY). How can I do it? I tried to find services which do it, but they don't have exactly the same laptop (HP Omen 16).

Can I order a new keyboard from HP directly? Do they sell?

In time, my model is OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-xf0095ng.

Thank you all.

Hello,

If you're looking to change your keyboard layout from QWERTZ to QWERTY on your HP Omen Gaming Laptop 16-xf0095ng, you have a couple of options:

1. Order Replacement Parts: You can check if HP offers replacement keyboards for your specific model directly on their or other online retailers like Amazon. Here are some options availableAmazon.

2. Change Keycaps: Another approach is to replace just the keycaps. Keep in mind that keycaps might have different shapes, so make sure to get a compatible set.

3. Change Software Layout: If physical replacement is not an option, change the keyboard layout in your operating system settings:

   • Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language > Keyboard.

   • Add the QWERTY layout and set it as default.

Anyone else have tips or experience with this? 

Does this help? Let me know if you need further guidance!

Thank you, David. For your information: I have already changed the keyboard layout in my OS settings, and everything is just fine. I'm having trouble with specific keycaps, and replacing those seems to be a better option for me at the moment. I haven't been able to find the specific keyboard for my specific model, unfortunately. I browsed through eBay, and could see some mates selling individual keycaps, but they seem to be a little too off the scale. Browsing on HP has also proved fruitless! If anyone here has a place where I can try to find keycaps for my model, I would be grateful. Cheers, mate.
