English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Why a PAL (German) A500 Keyboard does not type

Hello all,
A While back I bought this PAL A500 from eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Extremely-R...72.m2749.l2649

But when I type on German specific keys, I only see the NTSC equivalent characters being typed on the screen.

1) How is this possible?

2) Strangely enough, when I press (Ä) and (^#)keys (see the screenshots) nothing is displayed. I even removed the keycaps to see if there is a connection issue or debris blocking the shorting mechanism, but everything seem to be in working order.
