Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard - Capital "C" not working.

Anonymous

I have had this desktop set for about 4-6 months.

It works great. The only problem is that the letter "C" can not be capitalized with either the left or right shift key.

The only way that I can get a capital "C" is to use the CapsLock key, and then it will type a capital "C".

It does not appear to be a hardware issue, it almost acts like a software/firmware issue.

I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit version.

I have switched this keyboard to a different computer with the same symptoms.

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I had the same problem.

Neither updating the software of removing the battery did work for me.

However, after a while I figured out that one of the function keys (F2) was tilted. I fixed that and now it works.

Actually you can reproduce the problem. Press down a function key and try typing. Everything works except for capital c.

Hope that helps

Best

Konstantin

Update: I did update the software but no change. Called Microsoft to get a replacement and had to pop the batteries out to get the product ID # to process the replacement. Would you believe once I did that and put them back in, it started working? Seriously, I used it all day with no issues.

    When I read this comment, I thought this is the most stupidest thing I have read today! But guess what, my F3 key was under iPhone's corner. And your solution worked!

    Never thought something like this. You are awesome!

    I can't believe this had such a simple solution that actually came up first in my search.  I never would have looked at that, but indeed, my F2 key was stuck. Brilliant.
