      Hi, does anybody know how to set the keyboard interface language within retropie? I'm using a wireless keyoard and I find that some 'special' keys aren't matching with the layout.

      An example of what I'm using: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/wireless-keyboard-rii8-air-mouse-with_60356499658.html

      Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

        @ezra84 This is a function of the operating system. In the command line run sudo raspi-config. Selectlocalisation options

          @jonnykesh Apologies for not asking the right question. I know how to get to that menu, but I'm not sure which language to choose.. hope somebody has experience with a similar keyboard.

            @ezra84 It's a US layout by the look of it so choose english -US.

              @jonnykesh I tried a few combinations and it seems "Generic 102-key (Intl')" with "English-US" is the one to use.
              Thanks for helping!
