Keyboard input problem, apostrophe.

[CognitiveZebra]

Hello!

I have a problem that I can't figure out what is the cause,

When I'm trying to do for example an apostrophe instead of having to press the ´ key once without anything happening and then the letter say "e" and getting a é, I get ´´e, It has the same outcome trying to make the "^^" emoticon, to get the double ^^ I only press the key once.

Check what style your keyboard is set to?

What keyboard language is your pc set to in windows? If it's not US layout then you'll get random issues like that happen for you

The keyboard language is set to Swedish (my native language) I have the K60 with nordic-layout

I'm not really familiar with any layout other than the US ones. But have a muck around with the settings and see if there's possibly another language setting you could try?

If i switch to the US layout i found out that the ^ key doesn't have the same function as the regular nordic layout. With the us layout you can make single ^, but when the nordic functions as it should you have to do ^ then backspace to do a single, 

 

And I can't for the love of god find out how to do a é

Also I need to get my layout working because my language has extra letters åäö, where the [ ' ; keys are.

I know the nordic layout is a bit different from a traditional danish layout, so it might be the case that it is a bit different from the tradtional swedish aswell

I know for me I have like alt + e + vowel (e) makes é. Might just be a mac thing, idk

The thing is that I've had the keyboard for a number of months and just now did this start to be a problem... It's fine for typing the "^^" emoticon, but being unable to type ´´e is annoying...

to get é, at least on my UK keyboard, it's AltGr (right of space)+e or Ctrl+'+e and to get the accent the other way round, in MS office, it's Ctrl+`+e, but that doesn't work in standard windows controls (such as in a web browser). Your issues sound really odd though. Did the keyboard come with a driver? try reinstalling it. Also, try a different USB port, because for some reason that can sometimes help. Finally, can you try another keyboard and what difference does it make?

I tried unplugging it an plugging it in to another USB-port, still the same. No driver disc with the key board, plug and play. Tried another keyboard that I have hooked up to this machine it's the same on that on also (Logitech wireless MK300)

Sounds like a windows issue then, but I can't think of anything which would cause that sort of issue if the input language is definitely set to the same as the keyboard. Sounds really strange.
