"This "German" keyboard version of this MacBook Pro is similar to a standard US keyboard, but this keyboard layout features extra "German" ä, ö, and ü "umlaut" vowels grouped together on the right side, the positions of the "Z" and "Y" keys are switched, and there are a few other minor differences in the keys.
This MacBook model is compatible with an external keyboard. After connecting the external keyboard, end users would then go into "System Preferences" "Keyboard" "Input source" then add "US English" and remove "ABD-QWERT". Then both keyboards will operate in US English mode"

Eh…site doesn't accept paypal and I'm worried about possible warranty issues too. Good deal for those who take the risks and actually get it though. I'm skeptical.

The site is not sketchy, it's been around for years... the warranty may be a question, though.

Very interesting deal. Need to watch some YouTube vids on German keyboards in macbook
The mixed up Y and Z will be the problem to get used to. Almost impossible imo.

So you trust more to Paypal than your own cc company? Interesting.

I was wondering if we do the thing they suggest (hook up US keyboard, change settings, etc) does the built-in keyboard now work like a US keyboard with:
1 - Y and Z keys simply reversed in physical location - Press Y and get a Y, etc. just not where we are used to them being.
or
2 - Y and Z are where we (US) expect them to be but are now labeled backwards. Press Y get a Z.

Can you remove keycaps and switch them plus set the keyboard to america? Order either way. Price is to good to let go. Btw. I have order from pc connection since 20 years ago. Great company.

Also, this MacBook model is compatible with an external keyboard. After connecting the external keyboard, end users would then go into "System Preferences" "Keyboard" "Input source" then add "US English" and remove "ABD-QWERT". Then both keyboards will operate in US English mode.
