Old A1048 keyboard works on Mac Studio but some keys are wrong

I would like to use this keyboard as I like its clicky feeling. While most basic keys match, some, including the all important @ key are misplaced. The keybord recognition software does not recognise it when I tap the key next to shift. Is there any way to map the keys like in the old times?

Mac Studio, macOS 15.3

That sounds like you have the input source British PC active, when instead you need to use the one just called British (or US or ABC). Go to system settings / keyboard / text input / edit / all input sources and use the minus button at the bottom to remove British PC (and the + button to add British if necessary).
