Keyboard layouts

I'm in the process of rigging up one of my old typewriters to function as a computer keyboard but there's still one little obstacle in my way and that's the different order of the keys. In looking for a solution, I noticed that Windows makes a distinction between all the various English inputs and figured from that that they must have differently laid out keyboards. Now to the actual request: Anyone who is not using English US for your locale and layout, look at your keyboard and see if it at all resembles this:
Code:
 ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  -------
| ! || " || # || $ || % || _ || & || ' || ( || ) || * || + || back- |
| 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8 || 9 || 0 || - || = || space |
 ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  -------
        ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  --- 
       | Q || W || E || R || T || Y || U || I || O || P || ¼ |
       | q || w || e || r || t || y || u || i || o || p || ½ |
        ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  --- 
        ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  --- 
       | A || S || D || F || G || H || J || K || L || : || @ | 
       | a || s || d || f || g || h || j || k || l || ; || ¢ |
        ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  --- 
           ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---
          | Z || X || C || V || B || N || M || ? || . || ¾ |
          | z || x || c || v || b || n || m || , || . || / |
           ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---  ---
                --------------------------------------
               |                                      |
               |                                      |
                --------------------------------------
The keys don't necessarily have to be arranged like that, what I'm worried about is which characters are paired together on which keys. If your keyboard does look like that (even partially), tell me your input settings.
 
I use English US-International last time and recently changed layouts from CP.


Mine doesn't resemble it.


I think I have seen those layouts on some other type of stuff that uses a keyboard.,

he probably means English US-101 or something.


Mines International so the euro sign and stuff shows up.


you can type in some funny characters in too.
 
my keyboard is not like this
z and y are changed
i have no ¼ or something, there is my ü key
instead of :[;] i have ö
instead of @ i have ä (my @ is alt + ctrl +w)
instead of ? ; i have , ;
. . -> . :
¾ / -> - _
