How to get german QWERTY on Windows?

What I usually do is to customise keyboard layouts to my liking: adding characters I use frequently for example.

On Windows it is really simple. Just install Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, load the existing keyboard you want to modify, then make the changes you want and produce a new keyboard layout.


Just install KbdKaz 500 in German layout edition. During installation you can choose QWERTY keys layout.


Thanks for the answers that have been given, but unfortunately by searching everywhere and waiting for answers I couldn't find what I needed, so I came up with this solution - I used The The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator

And created my own very custom layout by modifying the default german layout and switching places of z and y.

In case somebody needs it and doesn't want to go the hard way, I decided to upload them, so here are the links to download and install the keyboard layout:

Edit: updated links.

It will appear as a choice under German input between languages in your language bar. If you just want to use this german layout, just remove all german layouts and install this one. Good luck and have fun using it!
