The Swedish and Finnish layout

Sweden and Finland use the same keyboard: QWERTY letters plus Å right of P and Ö Ä right of L. The top-left key is § ½, the number row ends with + ? and the dead accent ´ `, and ¨ ^ ~ is another dead key next to Å. Shifted numbers give ! " # ¤ % & / ( ) =, and AltGr reaches @ £ $ € { [ ] } \. The board is ISO, with a two-row Enter, ' * beside it and the < > | key next to the left Shift.

How to test a Nordic keyboard

Type every row and watch the three extra letter keys light up. Press the dead keys ¨ and ´ once each — they register on the tester immediately even though the screen waits for a vowel. Hold Shift on the number row and AltGr on 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 0 to confirm the symbol layers. The ISO-only switches < and ' (beside Enter) are the ones to double-check.

Is a Finnish keyboard really identical to a Swedish one?

For everyday keys, yes: the Finnish standard is the Swedish layout with a few extra AltGr characters (Š Ž) added for Sámi and loanwords. The physical keycaps are printed the same way, which is why this page serves both. Danish and Norwegian boards look similar but move Æ Ø and a few symbols, so they have their own pages.
