Cannot insert @ sign with my Model M
« on: Thu, 23 August 2012, 07:50:03 »
Hi,

I found out that somehow I am not able to type @ on my Model M. I have the 1391403 version that uses an ISO layout without the windows keys. I verified that all the required keys work (Alt Gr and q in this case). I can insert other special characters that require Alt Gr like Alt Gr + '+' = '~' and 'q' works as expected. My primary OS is Windows 7.

Do I have to install another driver? It is very hard to search for: 'ibm model m' @ sign not working :).

Ok I fixed it myself. Seems that another key (Rollen) was stuck and this affected only the @ sign. Very strange.

Doesn't have to be strange, could just be a ghosting issue. :)
I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.
