Which is the correct Russian Keyboard? (picture link)
Update: This was resolved - it was a keyboard setting in Rosetta Stone that I needed to change.

I have been using the Russian Keyboard built into Windows for a while now.
However, suddenly today I was using Rosetta Stone learning software, and their keyboard has the keys completely different!

On my keyboard, the top row is : йцукенгшщзхъ
On Rosetta Stone's keyboard, the top row is: явертыуиопшщэ
I am so confused as to why Rosetta Stone shows the keys all switched around. Which is the correct keyboard?

This is a a screenshot image of the two keyboards - the one on top is the one that I use. The one on the bottom is the one Rosetta Stone is showing. https://ibb.co/juMfzw

Answer

the Rosetta stone keyboard is phonetic-- it tries to match Cyrillic letters to ones that sound similar in the Latin alphabet.  The windows keyboard is the one they actually use in Russia.
