My Apple Wireless Keyboard keeps typing the letter x.

The wireless keyboard keeps on typing the letter x, so I tried to switch keyboards, which fixed it. The wireless keyboard has no exterior damage, but pressing the x key does absolutely nothing. I'm wondering how I can fix this problem.

presssing the x key one and off may fix it but at the end of the day the keyboard'x swich may just be broken and may never come around

  • My wireless keyboard is typing the wrong characters?

    My wireless keyboard is typing the wrong characters and as a result I cannot log into my profile and check the system preferences?

    That mapping is determined by the settings of your computer.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and make sure that only US is present on the list (or whatever language you normally use).

  • Is there a function key on Apple Wireless Keyboard to mimic the roundel key (home)?

    While the cheap bluetooth keyboard has a home key, alas, Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't have it to work well with iOS devices.  Can it be programmed into F5 or F6 then?

    Good luck on the switch. I know I initially struggled with the layout change of many things. If I could give one recommendation/word of advice it would be:
    "Learn shortcut keys."
    As a Windows user of 15 years, I had become reliant on my mouse (and the occasional alt/tab keys) that I never really explored the world of keyboard shortcuts.
    After taking several weeks to finally get the hang of all the various keyboard shortcuts I zip through things now, almost rarely use my mouse except when an ease to use (or remember) keyboard shortcut is available.
    Good links already posted above, just more of my 2 cents.

  • I'm not sure what to do here. My macbook keeps typing the letter ƒ instead of the letter f. Capitol f is written as Ï. I'm not sure what to do.

    pls help

    If you had a liquid spill there could possibly be more damage that is causing the keyboard to malfunction.
    Check it with a USB keyboard if you have one available, sometimes not all functions will work with wireless.
    If it functions ok you may want to get a USB as well as a wireless. I would try to borrow one if you do not have one to check things out before spending $$, to confirm that it is just the keyboard
    You can have it diagnosed at a genius bar for free, make an appointment first so you don't have to wait

  • HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

    With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

    Hello:
    If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.

    My ibook G4 today started typing the letter o continuously all by itself and will not stop.It just keeps
    Typing the letter o and I cannot get it to stop.

  • Cannot get new Apple wireless keyboard to pair

    I've followed the "how to" document but it does not work -- I'm assuming those instructions applied to the previous generation apple wireless keyboard, but not the new aluminum series.
    When I "Add new connection" (either Express or Custom mode) a dialogue box pops up asking me to enter a PIN on the keyboard and press enter. I enter the number given, but I get an error message that authentication "went wrong." I've heard that I need to enter a PIN of 0000 for the keyboard to work, but the Toshiba Bluetooth stack doesn't seem to want to let me choose my own PIN - it always chooses for me.
    I have uninstalled the Toshiba stack and tried the XP SP2 stack -- it works with the new apple keyboard when a PIN of 0000 is used. Unfortunately, the XP SP2 stack doesn't have the other profiles I need so I can't really use it.
    Has anyone figured this out?

    So you have entered the according PIN code into the Bluetooth keyboard (not the PC keyboard ! ) and "Link Level Security" was enabled - Is this correct ?
    Which Apple keyboard model do you use ?

  • My wireless keyboard keeps losing connection but this is random

    after upgrading to mavericks i can log on to the operting system but sometimes this can happen right after log on or this might take hours or a few days. my keybpard will just stop working.
    this is a new keybpard only 1 month old the apple wireless keyboard. and in the bluetooth in seems connected fine.
    but for no reason at all i can link to any action my keyboard will just stop sending keystrokes to the computer.
    1. the keyboard is on
    2. the bluetooth shows the keyboard and i can selects disconnect and connect.
    the only way i can reconnect the keybpard is reboot. by holding the power button in.
    i have a spercial mouse with 6 buttons on as i need this to work and that mouse works through another dongle bluged in via usb. i have tried disconnecting this but the keyboard still wont connect.
    this is really getting bad now as i have 3D renders going on in the background 24 hours a day. and a reboot rrally upsets my work.
    i have a mac 27 inch mid 2011

    the only addon i have wich isnt apple is a USB hub that i use for secondary things like iphone charges headphones but nothing i need for fast data transport

    Hello B:
    One thing to try is to make the devices "favorites" Directions for that are in other posts of mine.
    However, the keyboard (from your description) could be faulty. Since it is less than one year old, I suggest you call Applecare with a warranty issue. I had a KB replaced (in warranty) a couple of years ago. Apple replaced it and paid the shipping both ways.

  • Can't pair apple wireless keyboard in Windows

    Hi
    I have just purchased the new June 2009 Macbook Pro. I've used bootcamp to install Windows XP and i'm trying to pair my apple wireless keyboard.
    Its the brand new apple wireless keyboard but when i search for the device in the Bluetooth control panel, its displayed but when it attempts to pair it says completed ok, but the keyboard still doesn't work.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Andy

    ' Peter, I'm sorry to say this, but it sounds like you specifically either have a genuine hardware problem, or your Windows installation is sicker than most. You should never see the sort of symptoms you're talking about in a normal, healthy system!!!
    ' However, the bad / sad fact of the matter is that, even were you not in the position you're in, you couldn't use either keyboard or mouse when in Windows!
    ' I am able to (and have done - my Vista system is still configured successfully with 'em - I haven't removed them despite them being useless!) propperly pair both devices on Vista without much of a challenge - pretty standard fair actually... But that's all a smokescreen. Despite this - and despite being able to actually query each device over bluetooth for the services they provide and so on - they still cannot be actually used!!! No matter what, there is never any response from the OS to input or actions on either keyboard or mouse.
    ' <Shrugs> What can I tell ya. It does sound like Peter needs to move onto solving his bluetooth problem though anyways - in case this causes trouble for him (you) at some later date with devices that actually would be useful!
    ' Later!

  • Serial Number fo Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007)

    Hi, I bought a re-certified *Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007)* from the online Apple Store.
    Where can I obtain the serial number for this product?
    Thank you.

    Thanks - I live about 500 miles from an Apple Store, so that's kind of not so good. :-/
    I ended up calling (since I was still in the 90 day support window), and found out that it was covered as part of the Mini's warranty. That was the good news.
    3 days later the replacement keyboard came. It was the full-sized plastic keyboard...in Spanish. :-/
    After another call, and 3 more days, the replacement keyboard came. It was the full-sized plastic keyboard...but in English.
    I am now waiting for replacement #3, and hoping it's the aluminum keyboard in English.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Shift + 'r' key not working. It doesn't capitalise the letter. Can someone help please. Thank you.

    Hi all,
    I am having some problem with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It has not problem connecting to both my iPad mini / iPhone 4S.
    The problem comes when I start to type with it. All the keys are functioning will, except when I am trying to capitalise the letter 'r'.
    I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
    Any someone help please. Thank you.

    If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
    If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
    If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

  • Apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete without using the fn key.

    My apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete in indesign without using the fn key. Is there a key command that I accidentally hit that causes that or something? I've never had this happen before. It isn't happening in any other program, just indesign cs4. Has anyone had this happen and how do I fix it?

    I figured it out. My keyboard shortcut set in indesign was corrupt. I went back to the default set and created a new set and the delete key started working again.

  • Apple wireless keyboard misses first letter in some words

    When I am typing, particularly in Word 2011, with my Apple Wireless Keyboard, it frequently does not type the first letter of a word.  I have searched and can find no resolution to this problem.  I have messed with Accessibility but that is all turned off.  The only other bluetooth device is my mouse.

    Hi,
    Thanks for this. It isn't the computer though, as it will happen very quickly. For example I can type in a web address, then look up to read the web page for 20 seconds or so, then if I type again it will miss the first key stroke.
    I am starting to get used to typing the first letter twice!
    I can see that it is a widely reported issue with Apple Macs, but I can't find a fix for Windows. I am keen not to have to buy a new keyboard!
