    Keyboard is typing the wrong letters


    My Logitec K350 keyboard works fine when I plug it into my laptop. When I plug it into my desktop and search on Google, try to shop on Amazon, etc. it produces the wrong letter when I press on a few of them.


    s key types an i

    q key types a s

    e key types a m


    Same letters, same results. I am typing just fine on the Microsoft help page, but can't when I am on the internet. What is going on?

    :)

  3. Keyboard not typing letters

    Hi Bob,

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I would suggest you to try the Onscreen keyboard and check if it helps.

    Please have a look at this article and check if it helps. Even though the article is for Windows 8.1, the option to enable the onscreen keyboard is the same.

    Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) to type

    After you are able to log in, I would suggest you to change the log in option or you may follow the steps provided by Neha Gupta to update the drivers and check if it helps.

    Thank you.
