German Layout Magic Keyboard - '@' doesn't function

Hi, as German is my second language, I've swapped my Magic UK keyboard for a brand new German layout Magic keyboard from the Apple online store. My OSX has been set to German region for several months and since installing the keyboard I've set the primary input to German-standard and rebooted several times. All the ä ö ü ß keys are fine.


But, for some reason 'option + L' is not producing the @ sign. All I get is a weird little comma highlighted in yellow. There's no mechanical issue either, tapping it makes an 'L' just fine.


I'm having to use other methods to get the @ sign (selecting it by mouse from Emojis and Symbols in the top bar.


What could be going wrong?


Cheers

Matt
