US, no dead keys. I do have a UK physical layout though, but aside from < and \ everything is in the same place so alt's and escape's keycodes shouldn't have changed.
The symbols as they are printed on my keyboard matches what Wikipedia calls the Linux US layout[1], but I'm pretty sure I bought this in the Netherlands and an ordinary Logitech K200 will not have custom Linux prints on it, so I'm a bit confused. There also exists a Dutch layout with the same physical keys but a different keymap[2], so that's not it.
Trip down memory lane: until Vista, Windows in Dutch shipped with the Dutch and US keyboard layouts both enabled (US was the default) and ctrl+shift as switching hotkey. People would randomly get plusminus symbols when they tried to type a colon because they had accidentally switched to the Dutch layout, which was printed on exactly nobody's keyboard. It happened so often that people would just roll with it, and I think it was generally understood among the heavier computer users that plusminus was supposed to be a colon. Sometimes, someone would reply to such messages: "press ctrl+shift and try the colon again". That person was then thanked profusely. Those were the days.
