So i got a razer blackwidow chroma keyboard and everything works fine.

Except for the Hastag key. On my keyboard the hastag key is locataed above the right shift and next to enter. The problem is when i press that key it doesnt show the hastag and it shows the wrong thing when shifted too.

Hastag key pressed: \
Shift+Hashtag: |

Why is this and can it be fixed?


Update: More keys seemed to be mixed up, for example the AT key for emails displays "
Alot more keys are affected, how do i fix?

Example: The pound sign under the 3 key displays # when shifted but it still displays 3. whats wrong and how can i fix it?

You've likely changed your region settings. I think it varies a little depending on your OS, but you should see a keyboard icon in your system tray (by the date/time), when you click on it, you should be presented with language(s) available, and select the appropriate one.

Ive already done that, the same problem still occurs
 
Hi

What version of windows?

Sound like you have real uk keyboard set as usa keyboard ( or visa versa)
Which is different from region
You can add another keyboard then select correct one as default

Exact method depends on windows version but fairly similar
Starting with control panell , keyboard

Did you update Synapse? (Or, more accurately, did it beg and plead with you to update it?)

Razer's stuff can get a little buggy, but they are pretty good about pushing out fixes via Synapse updates.
