I'm so sorry- i dont. But i will see my granddaughter over the weekend and ask her to bring her kitty keyboard so i can look at hers. My thinking is that you got a defective one snd you should exchange it. As i recall, all the keys worked fine on ours, but i will doublecheck and get back to you.

Alayna, I checked with my granddaughter today, and she said ALL of the keys worked fine on ours. Yours just must be defective. Take it back to Target and exchange it for one that works properly!Julianne

Kent...UPDATE to my Post under C. Watts - I was able to reinstall the keyboard and get the F5 key to work. While the quality of materials is lower on the current generation of keyboards, mine is working fine and the quality is acceptable. As far as spacebar issues and such, I think it's just a break-in period you have to go through. And truthfully, this is the best layout of a keyboard I've ever used. I use it every day, all day long and just would not want to be without the split design.

No, I can't type all the characters with both shift keys pressed down. For example 'T' doesn't work.

I hate this feature...forgot to mention it in the review. You have to press the function key (FN) then "l" for the apostrophe. Any key that has a blue character requires you to press the function key first.

My keyboard works. I initially had some difficulty until I figured out some minor steps that weren't noted in the directions. I'm not that tech savvy, so I'm not ssure if this helps. Sorry

There is an FN key, but it does not look like function keys. I don't know if there is a way to use other keys for this purpose, but it it is not indicated on the keyboard.

It sounds like the Microsoft keyboard software got installed or upgraded. The F Lock button will resolve this issue, but you have to do that every time you restart the keyboard. The permanent fix is to install the MS keyboard software and then re-assign each function key from the default action back to the Function action as a Macro. Example: F1 becomes help and F2 becomes undo. Most of these functions still work within popular applications when they are functions keys.You have to do the same thing with newer laptops regarding the top row of keys.

I just looked at every key on the keyboard and I do not see one.... I tried all of the f keys and the small icons that they are associated with using the ctrl key. I don't believe there is one... Sorry. It is a very nice keyboard though btw.

My problem was similar. Some of the keys don't work. I still have it from Christmas. Had to buy my granddaughter a new one from Walmart.

After reinstall my OS, the fn key stops working. I guess we miss some drivers for the keyboard.

The Fn key located at the bottom left, works like a shift key for the symbols in blue. Beyond that I cant help. I havent had any issues with mine but have only had it a few months.

I am not familiar with this situation, but I can tell you that both keyboards are active at the same time. Any given key, from either keyboard, results in an identical code going to the processor regardless of which keyboard it comes from. Apparently the ASCII codes are identical for both keyboards, so language differences would be specific to the particular windows code that handles key assignment, rather than being differentiated by the specific keyboard.

I have the same issue plus some extra issues as well. My keyboard never worked ok. I ended up without using it. Is still on the original box because i cannot work like that. Nice design but with too man problems. Not a good keyboard.

I also had same type of problem. Some of my keys were not working in DM4-1265dx after tea spilled on the keyboard. I got keyboard from Amazon and replaced by getting help from some YouTube videos. Now it is working fine. You may please search the website for video demo on replacement of your particular keyboard.

it sounds like to me you have a defective unit. On mine there is no special way to turn on the keys they should work when you push on them.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.
