Hi,
The Miniature Wireless USB Keyboard that I bought has a glitch. The backslash-vertical bar key displays an octothorpe # and a tilde ~ instead. Shifted 2 is a " (although the 2 works) and shifted 3 is a British pound character (although the 3 works).
I assume this isn't right . . . .
Any suggestions?
thanks

Re: Buggy Miniature Wireless USB Keyboard
Mine doesn't work at all... connection LED is blinking, dongle is recognized by the system but seems to be unable to establish a connection. Holding FN+F1 for 10 seconds doesn't do anything.
Any ideas ? Before I send this back from Switzerland to the states I throw it in the bin and forget about it.

Tried on both and on several different ports, always the same: The yellow LED is blinking endlessly. I tried different procedures with F1 on poweron as mentioned in the FAQ on the manufacturers page, still no success.

Re: Buggy Miniature Wireless USB Keyboard
I have used my unit with several computers, including my raspi and they all connect fine, but all have the character problem.
I would like if the keyboard were to stay active longer; It times out and goes into sleep mode after about five minuets of inactivity. I have to switch it on and off again to reconnect.
So, what do I do about this character issue? If characters were just on different keys I could get by, but with important ones missing it's kinda useless.
