What the Norwegian layout looks like

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

Testing a Norwegian keyboard

Type every row and confirm the Ø, Æ and Å keys light up. The dead keys ¨ and ` register as soon as you press them, so you can verify their switches without typing a vowel afterwards. Hold Shift on the number row and AltGr on the digits to check the symbol layers, and do not skip the two ISO-only keys — < beside Shift and ' beside Enter.

Why does my keyboard type Æ where I expect Ø?

Your system is set to Danish rather than Norwegian. The layouts differ mainly in the order of Æ and Ø and the position of a few symbols. The hardware is fine — this tester lights the physical key regardless of the character — so simply switch the input language to Norwegian.
