I can only guess you have a variant keyboard layout and your desktop automatically defaults to a main layout, check this page to see what variant your keyboard is and then go into the settings of your desktop environment and switch your keyboard layout. If that does not help then I would check what keys are wrongly mapped and use that info troubleshoot on MX Linux forums.

Personally I have latinamerican spanish layout and it was pretty easy to set it up during installation and even after.

Also, did you choose MX Linux because it is first on the Distrowatch site?

@299792458ms I liked Linux Mint after using it alot for my first Linux. I use Windows 7 at work and like the layout. When I wanted to try another distro, I was looking around, I like the look of Pop_OS and MX Linux. I want ease of use and productivity so, so the Windows 7 style of MX appealed to me a lot. Thanks for your tips, I will try fix keyboard over the weekend. Cheers👍
