Keyboard layouts

The visual layout (and also, to a lesser degree, the mechanical layout) of keyboards vary depending on countries. However, in many cases, and particularly in older games, the functional layout remains the same, particularly when dealing with cheat codes.

The QWERTY layout is the most common layout on English-language computer keyboards.
