Hello,

I got this great deal for a keyboard but the problem is it's an Azerty keyboard and I'm used to a Qwerty keyboard. So my question is, is it possible to just swap the keys to match the qwerty layout? Also it's a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate.

Thank you

You can swap the keys themselves around but that would just mislabel them.
However you can change them through windows, but you better hope you remember the layout of QWERTY
Step 1: Go to the Start button and open "Control Panel"
Step 2: Choose the option "Clock, Language and Region"
Step 3: Select "Regional and Language Options" and in the "Installed Services" section, click "Add"
Step 4: If your keyboard is set to "French" (AZERTY) change it to "English US/UK" and if your keyboard is set to an English language (QWERTY), change the language to "French" (AZERTY).
Step 5: In the "Keyboard" section, choose "QWERTY" or "AZERTY" and apply the changes by clicking "OK"
