Dell Latitude C400 - Keyboard Issue - Wrong keys...
Can anyone help me....
When i use the drivers on the site the keyboard works but the key above 9 should be ) but it come out as ( the same with 0 should be = but it comes out as )
Just a little anoying... can anyone point me to the right driver or setting..
Thanks
Larry
If keycap markings don't match the characters generated, it sounds like the wrong keyboard mapping. Which national keyboard layout do you have? You may be able to select a correct keymap in Control Panel / Regional & Language.
There's something not specified here... "use the drivers on the site". Which site, which drivers?
Finally, on most keyboards "(" is shift-9 and ")" is shift-zero but you seem to be saying they are reversed.
- That's weird. The conventional layout (and ISO standard?) has "(" as shift-9 and ")" as shift-0 on english language keyboards, exactly as the output of your keyboard. In more than 30 years I have never encountered an english keyboard with ")" before "(". It sounds as if your keycaps are incorrectly marked, possibly a manufacturing error.

Think that you right...
This was a replacment keyboard that I bought from ebay and i think some of the keys were from diffrent keyboards!
I just hooked out the old one and 6 - 0 were all wrong!
So i've carfuly pulled it appart and put the right ones on there now.
Thanks a lot... i wouldn't have checked/though of that if you hadn't said. Thanks a lot

I know the norm is that way round but on this layout its not.
I have installed the latest drivers as well. Very odd. Will post a picture when im home tonight and have it with me.
Thanks for the help
