Question about SteelSeries Apex Pro 2023

I also have this keyboard with DE layout. It can be annoying when you want to write exclamation marks or ? or #, for example, because it needs a different key combination. Otherwise not really bad

Personally, I still use the keyboard with the Swiss layout on my PC. If you type often and know all the keys and combinations by heart, you don't really mind that it's written incorrectly. You don't even notice because you act intuitively. Of course, you can also simply switch to the German layout completely. It's just a matter of getting used to it.

The special characters are on other keys. For example, the "@" is on the German keyboard with Ctrl + Alt + Q and on the Swiss keyboard with Ctrl + Alt + 2.

I am an author and have been using only D layouts for years. The capital umlauts Ä, Ö and Ü are directly accessible, as is the ß (you don't need it in Switzerland, but I rely on it). The so-called Swiss keyboard is ultimately a useless hybrid of D and F layouts in order to serve the market with one - and not really make two language areas happy. You will be happy with the D layout as a Swiss-German, don't worry.
