    Backslash Key Won't Work Regularly, but Works With Other Key Combos


    As of a few hours ago, my backslash \ won't work/type on its own when pressing that solely. If I use Win + \, it types the backslash like normal. Using Shift + \ will type the normally. It's clearly not a keyboard issue considering this was working earlier today, and restarting the PC and unplugging the keyboard does not fix the issue. Any ideas?

    :)

    1215N function keys not working?

    Doesn't list it for the 1215N *Frown Backslash Key Won't Work Regularly, but Works With Other Key Combos :(

    Funny part all the keys work out of the box with Linux Mint, go figure.

    Tried the one on softpedia, doesn't seem to work.

    Any other model that I can take it from?

    Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

    I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

    RALT key not working (Right Alt + Key combos)

    After introduction of (₽) ruble sign into russian keymap layout all combinations of hotkeys that use the RAlt key (eg, RAlt+Enter for fullscreen is used by many video players) no longer work, and RALT key feels dead, apart from RALT+8 combo.

    This is totally wrong and drives everybody crazy. This key should work as it used to (like in USA keymap)

    together with other key combinations that many different software apps use.

    RAlt+8 can still work for the (₽), but it should not be exclusive as it is now, by killing other 100+ keys and combos.

    How to fix it properly? Or better said when it will be done by MS.

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    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...

    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,...
