From what I gather, it's a standard US keyboard that is used; albeit
occasionally with different stickers on the keys to show where the extra
characters are.

Early on, Poland wasn't considered a big market for computers, so they
just used imported US computers with US keyboards, with Polish programmers
creating drivers to incorporate their extra characters. Later, several
attempts were made to create standard Polish keyboards, but none of them
caught on.
