Can I use a US/UK Layout Backlight on a German Keyboard
Hello,
I want to ask you all if i can use a US/UK Backlight foil on a german keyboard.I ask you because the shift and Enter-key differs from the german layout.
Thanks for your feedback

It will fit but you may see that the backlight is not uniform with the enter key. A small minor thing but unless you absolutely need to change the backlight I would keep with the original backlight film.
We re-use the backlight film a lot for keyboard replacements from liquid damaged MacBook Pro Retinas as long as they are removed carefully without ripped backlight layer they light up fine.
Edit: I do see two minor rips but it still should be OK to re-use.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your response, the problem is that the original backlight is faulty and I want to replace it.
I ordered the german layout, but received the US one.
Not sure what to do…
It can still be used, lighting will look a bit weird on the enter key. Might want to talk with the seller and tell them that you've received the wrong keyboard layout and see if they will re-send the correct one.
I have already contacted the seller, unfortunately he does not have a DE layout anymore. So far I couldn't find a shop selling a GER/EU layout.
Therefore I struggle if I should install it. Have you ever seen a photo or a US backlight on an EU Layout?
Chris - Is this what you are looking for? Retina MacBook Pro 13" Keyboard Backlight Sheets - ISO

The Letter defines the keys and the layout. Any of the EU (ISO) keyboards will work you would only need to swap out the keycaps if you got the full keyboard.
Here we are getting the backlight which is the same with all of the ISO layout keyboards.
Thats it, Thank you very much - i ordered it.
