Keyboard printing wrong characters

My keyboard on my Macbook recently started typing strange characters, speciƒically ƒ,o which sometimes comes out with a slash thru it, the u is sometimes just a apostrophe, and the capitol ƒ is some other kind oƒ strange character Ï. Neither the Alt, Control, or Commant keys are stuck. The special characters is set to Roman, ƒont is Apple casual. This happens in all soƒtware programs. What is wrong????? It's driving me crazy. Google won't recognize any word I type which shows up with one oƒ these characters in it.
Thanks

For those characters, your keyboard is typing as if the alt/option key was depressed, or the alt/option + shift keys. It sounds like a hardware problem to me.

Keyboard typing wrong symbols

Why is my keyboard randomly switching and typing symbols?

Hello there, Chloe626.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth steps for troubleshooting issues with keys not working as expected on your keyboard:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
Particularly:
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Toshiba Satellite C855-S5350 keyboard types wrong characters

Hi all!I have the above named Toshiba laptop with keyboard problems. When typing, the keyboard will instead type another different character. Example, When I press "C", the computer will type "cd" and also brings up that menu for choosing second screen (PC screen only, duplicate........)When I press "escape", the computer will truly "escape" but will also type "q"When I press "d", again, "cd" is typed.When I press the space bar, space will be applied together with [Caps lock will type QqQqQq as much as I continue pressing it.J will type in "mj"M will also type "mj"S will type "xs" and also apply the Fn key for decreasing screen brightness (F2)V will type "v4"X will do same as 'S' above.Num 4 (top row) will type "v4" as in 'V' above.What I have tried,Connected an external keyboard - It worked fine.Booted with a linux live CD- typing problem is still there also.Please can someone let me know how I can solve this and what might have caused it? I'm afraid of having to replace the keyboard (as it smells so to me). Any workaround? Thanks.

This appears to be a very common fault with the Satellite Laptops. My C55-A5249 is just over a year old and has had excellent care then all of the sudden the keyboard stops functioning. Of coarse it didn't happen until after the warranty was up. But I called Tech support anyway. They walk me through some issues that they could not resolve and sent me on to Another repair department (Closed on weekends). This left me time to play arround. I was actually able to attach a wireless keyboard to the laptop and it worked just great. I am currently in the process of "Refreshing" (hold down the ShiftKey and click on Restart from the power options button) the laptop back to defaults by hold down the ShiftKey and click on Restart from the power options button. This is a gigantic pain by the time you restore everything. Did I mention: "I HATE WINDOWS 8. Anyway.. I'll let you know what happens next.

Laptop keyboard giving wrong characters

Hi there,
I am having HP pavillion DV 2760 en since early 2008 and facing these days a very unique problem.
when I press ASDFJKL:" and ENTER keys they print another charater of lower string by pressing of single key.
like charters prints this way
A = ZA
s = xs
d = cd
: = /; etc
I have gone through many forums and have checked there is no NUMLOCK issue at all and some of the peoples suggested cleanining and some replacing the keyboard. Can you please guide me how this problem can be solved?
My Left Arrow key also went insane it works upside down. Is it a virus or is it something hardwre issue. yeah there's nothing spilled over any sort of liquid on my keyboard.
I am using VISTA home edition 32bit and yeah I had changed recently DSL router and after that this problem became very prominent but I remember keyboard used to malfunction earlier as well like printing " instead of @ and vice versa. I hope this much details would be enough and waiting for your your feedback as its making me mad while working..
Thanks
Zee

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
I will check this way also. But it seems to be solved for now but not for arrow keys actually. I was told to shut dowm system and take out battery for some time. And turning it on my keys were back in normal except arrow keys...
I tried to clean my keyboard and there I saw some dust and hair actually stuck inside I have cleaned them to maximum possible but now the issue is there's a plastic covering back on the alluminium or mettalic lower part of the keyboard. it is transparent and looks glued. If i rip off this sheet to clean the dust and particles stuck between that sheet and metal part then my question is what kind of glue to be used to put it back. You can see at step3 and step 4 here.

Keyboard typing icorrect characters

Hi there,
I have a 2005 PowerPC G5 and I'm having an issue with the keyboard. Whenever I type a p it comes onto the screen as an e, ; as a d, and the spacebar doesn't work, along with a few other incorrect keys. It happened suddenly.
Any ideas?

Hi Joe,
Some things to check are your system preference settings under International and Universal Access (sticky keys). See if anything unusual set under those settings. From you description it is difficult to tell if it might be a preference setting problem. System Preferences can be accessed from the blue apple menu or by following the path HD>Applications>System Preferences.
post back with any further questions or comments,

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).

Random wrong characters appear when typing in Firefox--why?

While typing in Firefox, random wrong characters appear (e.g. I type "i" and "n" appears). If I go back and retype it, the same wrong character may appear two or three times, then the correct character appears. This happens while using gmail, but also, for example, when entering search terms into Yahoo. It does not happen while using other browsers such as Chrome, and it does not happen using other applications.

the wrong type characters kept appearing--I
would type the letter i and a 5 would appear instead.
This would indicate you have activated the feature which turns the right side of the keyboard into a numerical keypad. It might be Fn-F6 that controls this -- sorry I don't have a notebook and am not sure exactly how this works.

Wrong characters appear when typing on this discussion page

I was using safari on a power book (G4, processor 1.67 ghz, tiger 10.4.7) earlier today to try to download (unsuccessfully) some game demos, Myst IV and Myst V from macgames. Safari was terribly slow. It also crashed frequently and when I got on this discussion page to ask about this, as I was typing my concerns, the wrong type characters kept appearing--I would type the letter i and a 5 would appear instead. When I tried to use the delete button to erase the 5 the it wouldn't move.
I then got out of Safari and int word to see if I would get wrong characters in a document. The same thing happened. I kept getting a combination of letters and numbers in the document I was typing. I then shut down the power book and turned it back on without being online. I was able to type in word without getting the mixture of numbers and letters.
I guess I shouldn't use the power book to get on the internet. I know macs aren't supposed to get viruses, but could the problems safari is having be a virus or some other destructive thing? or perhaps my powerbook has a virus? I was planning to upgrade the imac's 10.1.5 to Panther and use safari as explorer doesn't work well with some websites and safari was reccommended. Perhaps I should stick with explorer 5.2
I have updated to 10.4.7. recently. Is there a safari update I need? I don't remember any of this happening before the update, however I rarely use the powerbook to get on the internet, so it could have been happening before the update to 10.4.7. Also since there is something wrong with safari, is there a different browser I could use with the power book? the imac has explorer 5.2. What about an anti virus program for the power book? Any suggestions or recommendations on how to deal with these problems would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Edith

While typing keyboard starts typing wrong letters

I have checked my settings for my keyboard and have changed keyboards. I can open Pagemaker 7 & start typing, all's well. Then after a while it starts typing wrong letters & I can't use my short cuts. I also tryed reloading Pagemaker 7. I have run Malwarebytes, AVG, & Spybot. I can't find anything. It is also doing the same thing In Photoshop. It doesn't do it in any other programs besides Adobe.

I thought it was setup Default input language as English (United States).I checked and there was 2 other settings under keyboard besides US. United states-Dvorak and United States international. So I removed them. Also under Advanced Key Settings and Hot keys for imput languages - Switch between input languages was set up to work. I changed this to none. So far it has worked fine. Today is my long day at work so we'll see. Do you think that was it? How would that have gotten changed? I have done some windows updates recently that caused me problems with my display.
