Wireless Keyboard's left and right shift keys don't like some keys...

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a second hand 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPad 32GB Wi-Fi.
When pressed by themselves, the keys all individually work - I've tested them all using my MacBook's Keyboard and Character Viewer. The problem is when I use either shift keys with the following keys:
123456789
qwertyuio
Now, the odd thing is, the left shift key won't wok with either of those lines but the right shift key will work with the letters but not the numbers.
Using sticky keys on my MacBook, I can get every single one of the numbers to give out their character (!@£ etc.) with the left and right shift keys. I've not got Mouse Keys turned on either (and I don't think there's an option to enable it on the iPad)
Also, the Shift keys work perfectly fine with all of the other keys on the keyboard so they aren't worn out.
Any ideas what could be making my keyboard this way..? Or should I send it back (if I can...)?
Thank you for your time!

ok so i've made a bit of progress on my own...
i've found the on-screen keyboard viewer (silly me, i was looking under "keyboard" in system preferences...) and this flashes with each key i press except the problematic left and right cursor keys.
moreover, if i click the left and right cursor keys on the on-screen keyboard, they behave as they should, moving my cursor left and right.
this is starting to look like a hardware fault but i'd love to be able to test outside of the OSX GUI to be really sure. is there any way i can do that. not sure i want to get the screwdriver out just yet...

IPad2: After upgrad to iOS 8, video output lost left and right side

I have a cable for my iPad2, once plugged in the bottom slot, it outputs video to TV Component port and audio to my amplifier. It's been working for years. After iOS 8 upgrade, I notice the video output lost left and right side. It's like

Muse widget selection dial or left and right slider selector

Hello, I am looking for a muse widget that lets a user slide a lever left and right or In a circle like a dial to make a selection. For example, if the range is from 300 to 700, the user will slide the lever on the left and on the right to say he likes the range of 450 to 500. How do I search for that type of widget? Does it exist? Thank you so much, Stacy

Actually I do not have a shop. . I was looking for a range slider widget
with handles on the left and right side. That was just a sample. I
found some code online but I'm not a programmer. The slider let you say
select 10 for a min and 59 for a max. And the slider range was from -100 to
+100. Does that make more sense.

Aluminum Keyboard keys "n", "y", and right "shift" not working

My cat knocked over a glass of water on my desk, and while the keyboard attached to my MacBook didn't get water directly into it from the top, it was eventually surrounded in water. It's now dry, and everything works ok except for the N Y and right SHIFT keys. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you know how to fix it? I've tried in in my MacBook Pro and the same keys don't function. I've just tried taking a hairdryer to it to no avail.
Any other suggestions? Perhaps its time to buy the wireless version afterall.
Thanks!
D.

No real suggestion than to let it dry out more. If it was just water then there's a decent chance that it will "probably" work.
You might have a look at Removing the individual keys. I wouldn't suggest actually trying to take it apart!

Left- and right arrow key out of order

Hi,
I'm afraid to need your help again. My left and right arrow keys doesn't work as they're supposed to. While can neither navigate through my desktop icons nor the buttons in any dialog nor the text I'm just writing. The cursor stops blinking as soon as I press one of these keys so the system recognizes the key press but the cursor doesn't move. Showkey returns the keycodes 105 left and 106 for the right arrow key.
While logging in with LXDM im able to navigate back and foth while entering my password as well as the keys work properly in tty. It seems to be only LXDE, where the keys are not working.
Furthermore my function keys like mute, volume up and down and so on aren't working too. I don't know if both errors are relatet to another.
Maybe anyone has an idea what I might do to fix this?

I think I use lxdm to log in. As soon as I'm logged in, I'm using lxde. Ist this what you have to know?
no, you have to know it.
i meant: when you login with lxdm, do you have a choice between lxde-session and openbox-session (or sth similar) because there's a difference how openbox gets started and which config files are parsed.
It's an lxde-session. And LXDE uses openbox-lxde as displaymanager.

The part of the rc.xml I posted beforehand is the only one in that file that is tagged with <keyboard> and there is no binding for the left or right arrow key. There are some in combination with the control or shift key but that shouldn't do anything regarding my problem.

Absolutely.

Yes, exactly.

I use firefox which is, as far as I know, Gtk-based. But I installed QupZilla and gabe it a try. Unfortunatelly the same error shows up there.
I don't know if I'm right but lxde should be gtk-based itself and running a non-Gtk software in gtk-based lxde would show up the same gtk-errors to, wouldn't it? So eventually I'd have to try a non-Gtk software in a non-Gtk desktop environment in order to check whether the error doesn't show up under non-gtk software?

Why after i update my left and right arrow keys stop working

my left and right arrow keys stoped working after i updated to Mavericks now the dont work

Hello ccombs2014,
It sounds like 2 of your keys are not working after updating to Mavericks. I found this section of an article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
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 Universal Access pane in System Preferences, 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 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 Mac 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 Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Left and Right Arrow Keys Not Working

I know this has been asked A LOT, but I can't find a concise answer that works.
Some have had success with fixing something in their System Preferences, then Keyboard Shortcuts. I don't know what this means, went there, and can't add left/right commands as the keys don't do anything. This is probably something easily explained, but I need to be walked through the steps as I don't know how to "add shortcuts" exactly.
I just really need the left and right keys, as I'm a writer and that helps to fix typos quicker.

Will Apple ever put left and right arrows on the iOS keyboard?

Sometimes when I want to go back and fix a typing mistake or to copy certain words, it is a hassle to select the intended area. So I think it would be great if there were left and right arrow keys, or something like holding down one of the existing keys and moving to the left and right to move the cursor. I think that the space bar could work for that, maybe something like holding down the shift(up arrow) key and sliding left and right on the space bar.

Controlling a projector (presentation) using left and right arrow keys

Hello i have a cdr-rom im producing, im creating an
interactive presentation and i would like the user to be able to
move from page to page using the left and right arrow keys on the
keyboard how (1) do you add the script ie, on the timeline etc (2)
what is the exact script i need to use. Im fairly new to director
so could you please make it as easy as possible to understand. Any
help would be great thank you.

You want to create a keyDown script in a movie script window.
You can get the keycodes for the arrow keys here:

Do a search in the Lingo forum for more info on writing a
keydown script. There are many examples to choose from.

Solved My left and right arrow keys are not working

Hi!
I had that problem with Debian and later Arch, after I messed something up (never found out what). There was a chaotic but easy cure though (I've got no idea, why it did that on 3 different installations the exact same way - might be a logitech-keyboard issue or something... me-as-user-related)?:
- do all keyboard changes needed in xorg.conf NOW, had to repeat "strange steps" after each change.
- add new keyboard layout (no changes to default) in gnome keyboard settings
- delete old keyboard layout
- browse trough the keyboard layout "previews" of the newly added layout until it crashes (this step might be optional *g*)
- restart gnome, add "new new" layout, delete "new old" keyboard layout, and set the "new new" layout right (try evdev-manages first, then switch to youkeyboard/yourlocal if that didn't do it).
good look!

My left and right arrow keys are not working

I am having problems with my left and right arrow keys no longer working. I have tried restarting, running Mac hardware check, and nothing has come up. I haven't spilled anything on it, so I don't know why they have stopped working.

Sorry I didn't get to this thread sooner. From your posts it actually sounds like you may have a defective keyboard. Going to the nearest Apple store for assistance is a good idea. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first or you may have to wait a long time to talk to a Mac Genius.
Best of luck.

Discerning between left and right ctrl key(events)

I hope this is possible. If yes just point me in the right direction if too complex to explain in a couple a lines.
Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I don't think you can. In Java,
both left and right ctrl keys produce the same key
code (17). It used to be that these two keys
were 'hardwired' to the same function on the keyboard
but I'm not sure if this has changed..I don't think so.
No, I don't think it's possible.... besides, from a
user interface point of view, why would you want to do
that? Do you know any piece of software that does it?jaffab is right, Client Access for AS/400 makes a distinction between the left and right control keys, as do a number of games.
Unfortunately, the java AWT doesn't :-(
I would tentatively suggest that it would be possible, using JNI, but I imagine it wouldn't be simple to get a key listener set up in C/C++ that would trigger a java event - being the only way I can think of to differentiate between left and right control keys.
Given its infeasibility, I'd recommend having the control key do absolutely nothing - far easier to recover from, especially since reset and enter are such diametrically opposed functions!
Heh, you could always pop up a message box if they press and release control without pressing another key between, saying what to press for reset or accept, respectively :-)
-Troy
Random trivia - I think the default set up in Client Access is like that because on the original keyboards used with the green screens, the keys in those corners were reset and enter! Users who had gotten used to typing without looking at the keyboard wanted the functions in the same place, rather than on the keys with the same name.
IBM never has been happy doing things the same way as everyone else - database 'tables' are called 'files', 'schemas' are 'libraries'... trying to teach Java to one of the ILE/RPG programmers here, and we still have trouble with the english language differences, trying to explain what the programming language is doing!
Well, that certainly wasn't the few-line post it was supposed to be...

Wireless Keyboard's left and right shift keys don't like some keys...
