I have this keyboard: http://www.amazon.de/Rii-RT-MWK01-Tasta ... i+tastatur
On this keyboard is no _ /- key, those chars are both listed on the . and , keys, but I cant type them. Now I am not able to type important special characters and execute commands! On the back of my keyboard it says Model: RT-MWK01+ and Layout: DE. Now what is the right layout for me? I really want to start programming on my Pi. Please help me.
PS: Sorry for bad english.
Re: What Keyboardlayout to use?
Those mini keyboards have barely enough keys for a US layout, and only one Alt key. European layouts require an extra physical key (left of Z/Y/W), and separate meanings for left Alt and right AltGr. That leaves the mini keyboard two switches short.
By the look of the markings, you are supposed to type -_#' by holding Fn and pressing ,.öä. Does that do anything?
Try running "sudo showkey" on the Pi and pressing those combinations. The two switches that are missing and need to be emulated should be keycodes 53 and 43, I believe.

Thank you so much! I already wanted to send it back!jojopi wrote: Try running "sudo showkey" on the Pi and pressing those combinations. The two switches that are missing and need to be emulated should be keycodes 53 and 43, I believe.
It was 53 and 42.
Thank you too for helping. I already set it to DE and it still didn't work but I forget to say that, sorry.drgeoff wrote:Try Germany. Country code 'de'.
