Buggy Miniature Wireless USB Keyboard

[kenndann]

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

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.

Okay on the website the say, that holding the F1 key when switching the keyboard on should perform the pairing... failed

what happens if you keep it powered via the mini USB connection?

Red charging LED goes on again (had it fully charged before) but still no connection

Have you tried it on a normal computer/laptop as well? in case its the Pi

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.

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.

have you set the locale on the pi? that affects what keycodes == what characters
