Hi Kevin.

I'm using a Microsoft wireless keyboard which for £20 has been excellent. I had a similar problem to that you've described and discovered a small switch on the bottom of the keyboard marked 'channel'. Seemed to have 2 settings, one which meant the keyboard responded exactly as expected and the other that made absolutely no sense.

Maybe worth checking if yours has such a switch perhaps.

Subject: [access-uk] my keyboards rearranged it's keys!


hi all, odd one this. my new wireless keyboard has rearranged it's keys. by
this i mean, for example, when i press the left arrow key now, it says F5.
the down arrow key works, but it says F9 and so on. i was just working in
soundforge when it suddenly went mad! there's no extra software with the
keyboard or anything. i've plugged in my old ps2 connected keyboard which is
behaving fine. it almost like the keys have been reassigned, but i've no
idea how. is there anything in windows that could cause this? like i said,
there's no software with the keyboard to change such settings, and i've
tried removing batteries and changing them. unplugging the wireless
transmitter it uses etc. it's a logitech keyboard so it's not anything cheap
and nasty! smile. of course it could just be a fault, but i want to make
sure before i go through the hassle of returning the thing!
