Go to solution Solved by Tedster,

Hi,

I've just bougth this keyboard and I have noticed the colon - semi colon and quotes key are upside down. i.e single quote is at the top of the key and double quote is at the bottom of the key. Just wondering if it is just me or something across the board.

I also saw some google images with the same issue.

 

All the best.

If you have a keycap puller you should be able to see whether they work okay reversed, unless it's the printing that's inverted.

If it is a manufacturing mistake then I would RMA it.

Doing some research.

Maybe it depends on what region it was shipped from...? 

I really have no idea. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

That's just part of the keycap design it's with the period and comma and [ ] keys also. If it bothers you that much just yank the keys off and flip 'em around. That's the beauty of Cherry MX switches

Not a big deal, just wondering if some one else has seen this. I would turn them around but for instance the "<" will show ">".

thanks guys.

Honestly it shouldn't really matter much (or at all) if you know the keyboard layout by heart.

my keyboard does not have colon, semicolon and quote on the same button :P

How can everyone recommend turning the keys around... Seriously are you guys trolling the OP? It doesn't work like that.

 

First off, they keys aren't all flat. They are contoured depending on their relative position.

Second, turning the keys upside down will make everything look wrong, as if you were looking the keyboard from a mirror. All symbols will be upside down....
