@ and " keys reversed and £ not $
The lack of a € doesnt affect us quite as much.
Hardly a biggie overall really.
Even MacBooks have the @ and " the American way round... Not checked for the £. It's just part of using a Mac - within a couple of days its fine and not an issue ?
The @ bit through me initially when I got a Mac but honestly everythingg is there just a bit different. There are bigger limitations with Apple than that.
But I do get your basic argument about catering for markets outside the US. One of my biggest gripes I Apple focuses too much on the domestic market and not enough on its global ones. UK and EU especially. Probably cos Android is so prominent here.
I would just like to know how the Pro keyboard cover feels. Tactile feeling on a keyboard is very important to me.

£ is on 3 the same as a MacBook. € is on 2 the same as a MacBook. The only difference is the keys do not show this. This is if you have selected "English (UK)" in the hardware keyboard settings.
Suprisingly good. I generally use my rMBP at a desk, and use an old A1016 (the pre aluminium apple keyboard) as I like keys with lots of travel, but the smart keyboard feels quite nice to type on.
Yes, my post was typed on one. My hardware keyboard is "English (UK)". Under there I have selected British, which might be the cause of the difference.
Interesting, must be a setting difference somewhere between us. ¢ is the same though.
