    EDIT: Seriously though, if people want it why not make it. People here give money to games on Kickstarter, I don't see how that is more useful than this.

    I would consider it useful if you could bind any key/keycombination to it.

    The backslash key on my keyboard is a hashtag key and a ~ key

    [SOLVED] Budget keyboard with QUIET keys and/or small keys? Business or gaming.

    The flat keyboard I have is very easy to clean, also there is not much dust getting on and between the keys since they are flat unlike normal higher key keyboards.

  5. Backslash is randomly bound to other keys

    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...

  7. Why my backslash key doesn't work?

    in Windows 10 Gaming

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,...

    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...
