What the Danish layout looks like

Danish keyboards put Å right of P and Æ Ø right of L — the opposite order from Norwegian, where Ø comes first. The top-left key is ½ §, the number row ends with + ? and the dead accent ´ `, and ¨ ^ ~ sits beside Å. Shifted digits give ! " # ¤ % & / ( ) = and AltGr provides @ £ $ € { [ ] } |. It is an ISO board with a tall Enter, ' * beside it and the < > \ key next to the left Shift.

Testing a Danish keyboard

Press each key across the five rows and confirm the three Danish letters light up. Test the dead keys ´ and ¨ as single presses; the tester counts them right away. Hold Shift on the number row and AltGr on 2–5 and 7–0 to check the symbol layers. The < key beside Shift and the ' key beside Enter exist only on ISO boards, so make sure both respond.

Why does my keyboard type Ø where I expect Æ?

Your computer is probably set to Norwegian. The two layouts are nearly identical except that Æ and Ø swap places and a few symbols move, so a Danish keyboard under a Norwegian setting types the wrong letter. The switch is fine — this tester will light the physical key either way. Change the input language to Danish.
