Some keyboard keys are out of order

#1 Post by bugmn » Mon Apr 07, 2014 3:57 pm

For example if I press the 7 key with shift, it gives &, * for 8, ( for 9 and ) for 0. Also : ; keys are out of order. Is there any way to correct this problem? I don't want to replace this keyboard because I love it.
Thanx

You may have installed the UK-English keyboard driver instead of the US-English one.

I selected US English when installing windows 7 and also driver was installed as default by windows.

Remove the keyboard, turn it over, and give us the P/N or FRU of that keyboard.
Your mentioned keyboard functions correct for both UK- and US-English.
Who are you trying to fool here?

This is correct for US keyboards.
