By default, it comes with DE keyboard. It kinda a pain in the ass...

So easy way to change to US keyboard layout, follow this few steps

// not recommend this
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

// recommend this

sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard 

XKBLAYOUT="de" to 

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

// reboot vps
reboot
