QWERTZ not available on Chromecast with physical keyboard

Just bought logitech k400 plus Austrian/German layout, connected via Anker hub to chromecast and I am very disappointed as not only Z/Y has different positions, all the other symbols are different.. I've sideloaded Swiftkey and adjust it to qwertz, but keyboard still writes the same.. Klicking on a virtual SwiftKey keyboard does the job, but it is not typing on a keyboard experience.. I connected K400+ keyboard to a pc, and it types as it should (qwertz).

I've seen similar post here on nest, it is locked, without a real solution.. 

Is there any keyboard compatible with chromecast that can use qwertz or is there a setting I didn't find?

Hi PickNick,

 

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community. Connecting external USB hubs for storage expansion or peripheral devices to a Chromecast with Google TV is a hit or miss. These kinds of setups aren’t intended for the general use of Chromecast with Google TV. There’s no guarantee that they will work. Some users managed to pull it through, but we don’t normally recommend it as it may affect how the Chromecast device works. Kindly check out this basic guide: Move files from and to your Chromecast with Google TV.

 

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have questions or concerns with your Chromecast device.

 

Thanks,

Kimy
