    us style keyboard eith uk settings, lost back slash?

    I have got a laptop for Christmas, but the keyboard is a US layout, but I am in the UK and so for sanity use the UK layout, but this has lost me, as I can't find the back slash.

    Can anyone help me find it?

    Please no stupid sarcastic comments.

    Its underneath the backspace button, which is weird. Although you can change the region settings I wouldn't recommend it as the keyboard will show different things to what it actually does, most stickers will soon become unreadable. What is also wrong with the US layout is that @ is on the SHIFT number keys, instead of near ENTER which is odd because its used commonly in emails. Plus a lot of other stuff which is annoying. Don't worry because you will soon get used to it.
