The keyboard for my iMac 24” has the keys mixed up

My keyboard is all mixed up. The “Y” is a “Z” and vis versa then all the characters are not right either. I have tried all the fixes I have found on here and everything is right with the languages. I just have no idea what else to try. Can someone help please.

You need to go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > input sources and make sure that there is only one item on that list, and that the name of that item is US or ABC. Use the minus button at the bottom of the list to remove German or anything else.

Yes, in fact it is extremely easy to do that by mistake, which is usually what has happened when someone complains about mixed up keys. The best way to avoid it is to make sure there is only one item on the input source list.
