But surprisingly, it had a QWERTZ layout. This is an old Czech layout used on typewriters, but I seriously doubt you could get it anymore on any notebook. So I don’t understand why Apple uses it… Anyway, the task was to swap Y and Z key.

I got some advice from guys at macblog.sk forum. This is a how to video. Unlike in the video, the standard wired keyboard has the key mechanism 90 degrees rotated. See detailed photos of the mechanism, if you want to swap keys as well.
