Swiss keyboards use QWERTZ (same as Germany/Austria) but with Swiss-specific character positions. Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch) dialects are very different from Standard German! Most computers outside Switzerland don't have Swiss keyboard layouts.

The Swiss German (Schweizer) keyboard uses QWERTZ layout with German umlauts (ä, ö, ü) on dedicated keys. Unlike German keyboards, Swiss keyboards place some characters differently. The Swiss Franc (CHF) symbol is prominent for banking and business!
