Wrong key mapping?

[tazmanias]

I just bought a Asus transformer with the keyboard dock. When I use the keyboard dock, I find that the @ symbol (above the 2 key) is wrongly mapped to the " key. When I press Shift + 2, it show up " (it suppose to show up @), and when I press Shift + ', it show up @ (it suppose to show up "). Is this a common bug or is it problem with my set?

Please advise.

btw, I am new to this forum, and this place rocks.

Welcome to the forum. Are you sure it is seated all the way? The silver switch on the keyboard should slide all the way to the right when the Transformer is fully seated in the dock. Also are you on the latest firmware? You can check it by going to settings - about tablet - mobile dock version EP101-0209.

Yes, I am sure it is seated all the way. All the buttons work fine. Only these two symbols can mixed up. The firmware is the latest version too.

Is anyone else having this issue? Should I bring it back to change (it is still within the 7-days exchange policy) or can I fix this easily?

It sounds like a defect.

G'day,

I just registered so I could answer your question. I had exactly the same issue till I went into the settings and changed the keyboard layout to US. Sorry - I'm at work now and don't have it with me so I can't direct you through the exact steps I followed.

My transformer was purchased here in Australia but I ordered the keyboard from Amazon so I'm guessing that's where the confusion lay.

Thanks, it works. I changed the language settings to US (originally was set to UK) and the keys now mapped correctly.

Taz.. I agree with plankman,
I am in Australia as well, bought retail here so you don't need the amazon issue to have this problem. In Australia we use the US keyboard layout, and so this is sold here (as with imports from USA) but I selected my language as British english, not US english - there being no Australian english option - and of course we in Oz use spelling etc much closer to the poms than the yanks...

However - when you choose a language in the settings, it will remap your keyboard as if you had bought the keyboard for that language as well!!!

So - short answer - set your language to US English!

cheers,
..Neil

Good call Plankman. Thanks for joining to help solve the mystery!

I have a similar (yet opposite) problem. I have a UK keyboard connected, and have UK English as my language.
When I hit SHIFT-2, I get @ insted of ".

But my problem is related to the soft keyboard that I have chosen. I'm not using the ASUS keyboard, but have Thumbs Keyboard installed. This soft keyboard has no UK layout option, and is causing my hard keyboard to be a US layout. I can't even get a Euro Symbol up on it without switching my soft-keyboard to be something that is UK based.

Might be a good option for you Aussie guys who want a US layout, but not for us Irish who us a UK layout.

I'll have to conact the Thumbs Keyboard developer to have him add a UK layout to resolve my problem, but this really shouldn't happen in the first place...

it's a thumbkeyb problem i guess
