A little white-out, and you'll be able to fix things just fine.

I have two F12s on my keyboard, one where F5 should be.

The QWRRTY is the least of my problems with this keyboard. The fundamental problem is that it's the wrong model for this laptop, so the pipe and backtick keys don't work. Ironically, Dell sells the (supposedly) correct model keyboard at about half the price that the no-name clone manufacturer was asking. We'll see when it arrives in a couple of weeks.
