You are not the only one.  I complained about this years ago when I
had an Amiga 1000.

Eventually, I opened the case and switched the keys with a knife and a
soldering iron.  When I sold it, the buyer was glad I had switched
them.  So there are at least three of us.

Since then I have bought an Amiga 2000.  I have not yet performed this
surgery on its keyboard, but I plan to.
