Lol I dunno if I should put this in the keyboard mods section or the "Get a ****ing life" section hahahaha.  

I have way too much free time....


BTW what are you guys using to post pictures?  It seems to be much more effective than my methods!

LOL.

I think you accidentally put PrtScrn in a very sensible place! It looks right.

I actually did something similar after I got my replacement springs for one of my customizers I broke a spring on (many thanks to chuck cropper for sending me some (yikes @ the postage paid), no thanks to the swedish post who thought it was terrorist springs or something), and then put it back together. A pangram, in swedish:

Not finding homerow makes it a tad tricky to type, though, especially since I like long passwords...

Holy crap, I just realized everything is out of place!  What's with all the symbols being in different places?  Different language layout?  Is that standard for sweedish?(other than the letters of course haha)

Haha! Unless I'm mistaken it says something along the lines of:
axe-handle bid (or commandment, or delivery guy)
rifle (gun) WC zone
moo IQ help.

You of the English persuasion might try þe good olde alacrious tan vulpus pangram?

Yeah, other than the letters, ,, ., and -, the keys are like they should be under swedish layout. here's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Swedish) a better picture of "how it's supposed to be".

Close, but some of it can be blamed on my blurrycam, I guess. "Axe handle messenger, give our wc zone maiden iq help", which is of course quite nonsensical.

How about this one?...

Gud hjälpe Zorns mö qvickt få byxa.

God must help Zorn's maiden get trousers quick.

(each letter once, old spelling 'qv', lacks foreign letter 'w')

I wonder how long that'll last.  Those Datahands look to be a little worse for wear.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree, the idea was cool, but the result wasn't really... good.
