Well physically, Swedish and Finnish keyboards are exactly the same. Many vendors do label their keyboards for the Swedish market as "Swe/Fi", "Swedish/Finnish" or something similar. Other do have different labels even though the actual keyboards do not

and Sweden and Finnland have historical bonds that may

And since many memories are quite bad having two names
also is a sensible solution, even if it stirs up confusion for
computer users.
