How do you change it back? By using the same command again. A slightly modified / corected version of the text you suggested below: To change the default console keyboard to the another keyboard, for example the first USB keyboard (see ukbd(4)), use the following commands: kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/console To switch back to the default keyboard, use kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 > The ukbd(4) manpage seems to have a bit more about this, so I explicitly > added a reference to it there rather than expecting people to find it in > the SEE ALSO bit. Yes, that is a good idea.
