    Backslash is randomly bound to other keys


    When I press the keys "s" and "z", it types before or after a backslash. So I thought it was a hardware problem so I cleaned my keyboard but it persists. When I press the button that controls the RGB lights on my system unit it also types a backslash so I think it might be a software problem.I fixed it by disabling the backslash as a whole but it is still quite inconsistent.I have tried troubleshooting and scanning for malware many times but it is still there.Do any of you have the same problem and what are the practical solutions?

    :)

    How do I bind a Japanese character to the backslash key using the Japanese keyboard?

    I have the Japanese IME keyboard installed and switch to the Japanese 106/109 keyboard layout. All the other keys work with there corresponding hiragana letter. However, there is no ろ key. I understand this is due to Japanese keyboards having an additional
    key next to the right shift bar.

    I want to bind the missing character to the left backslash key as I do no have a right one. Currently the left backslash is not bound to anything when using the Japanese keyboard setting.

    typing backslash

    Backslash is there on the 8 key, I believe you click & hold ctrl key the 8 key to type backslash.

    Why my backslash key doesn't work?

    No, I think haven't written it clearly. I have only one keyboard layout. Instead of clicking win+spacebar I've clicked win+backslash, which resulted in backslash being written. So my backslash only works when I use it together with windows key. Don't know why.

    Why my backslash key doesn't work?: I'm using HHKB Professional Classic keyboard. I wasn't using backslash key too often, but when I did, it was working fine. When I use it with Shift key, pipe is written correctly, so that's why I think it is not a hardware issue. First time I've noticed that was few days ago,...
