I cant change the keyboard language of Arch

Hi, thanks for viewing.
I recently installed Arch Linux, but i have a problem, i cant change the keyboard layout, i followed the section of how to chang it in the arch forums but nothing.
Here is the output of  localectl status
System Locale: LANG=es_MX.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: es
      X11 Layout: es
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

My keyboard is in spanish from mexico, but it is still in english, any help is aprecciated, if need ill be willing to send the output of any other command related.
Thanks
