How is that ISO? Or am I missing the sarcasm?

If you look at the previous page you can see it's called Czech QWERTZ which is not ISO and I did not say so!

Yes, I know. The part I thought was a bit ‘objectionable’ was ‘ANSI enter and large left shift, this is what ISO should always look like’. Because that would literally make the layout ANSI, wouldn't it? I didn't want to attack you or anything either, by the way.

No, your right but the joke is it's obviously neither ISO nor ANSI. Have a look at my Apple AEK in our Alps appreciation thread, that's an even more extreme example.

Could you please link it ? I know there is a search engine, I tried searching for it but couldn't find it

My guess is seebart means
this thread here.

The
physical layout is standard winkeyless ANSI, though, isn't it? Maybe
that was our ‘communication problem’…

Yeah, is that supposed to be Qwertz, but with a physical ANSI layout? And the Zenith ZKB-2 has probably the weirdest Enter key I have ever seen.

I saw that AEK but I was talking about the symbols only one. I mean, this is ANSI-DE but is it symbols only ?

I think he was talking about how ANSI is superior to ISO, thus ANSI-CZ being how ISO-CZ should have always been like that (?)

Lol xD
Lustique and Myoth were like "I guess he was talking about...", "I think he was talking about..."
and the shortest and clearer answer given by Seebart was like please use the search function of the forum (implying I made something clear in the past, or someone made something clear in the past).
Actually which search is more effective?
Google site:deskthority.net
or the DT built-in search engine?
Perhaps Google is way faster for keyword search but DT's built-in search will be more precise about what one is looking for.

I
did use DT's built-in search, and I guess Myoth did too…

No, I prefer ANSI ti ISO anyway but what I was talking about is this AEK layout with the horizontal enter amongt other oddities for an "ISO" keyboard. Actually the AEK layout is even more strange than the Dell.

Great thanks.

Except it's an AEK not AEK 2!

Right, that's our wiki page for the M0115 the AEK 1, which is different to the much more popular AEK2. My point was that this layout on my AEK 1 is highly unusual. It's not ANSI, it's not really ISO although Apple shipped that for the German market and as you can see it does have "Ü, Ö and Ä". The Czech QWERTZ on the Dell is not unusual at all.

WOT? What do you mean "where is it"? It's here in a box with my other Alps keyboards.

In the wiki? It has not been added.

Actually I did add it to the Apple Extended Keyboard wiki page on July 10th.

Not sure what you mean? What I meant is that my AEK layout only has symbols vs. words on the fuction keys. The picture is right here 6 posts above.
