When I hit the “o” key on the keyboard, the letter “p” is displayed.
When I hit the “p” key on the keyboard, the letter “o” is displayed.
This is true for both upper case and lower case.
All other keys work fine. This occurs in all applications.
I turned the computer completely off and back on again, and it still does it.
WTF? Is it the keyboard?
Are the offending keys in this order (O-P) ?
If not, take them off (they come off somewhat easily) and switch them. Perhaps someone pulled a fast one on you? That’s my experience with the matter…
First of all, did someone switch the key caps on you? The “o” should be to the left of the “p”. Standard practical joke.
Second, try the keyboard on another computer and vice versa. (In case someone installed the software version of the above joke, for instance.)
Other than that, based on my experience taking apart and fixing a bunch of keyboards, it’s sufficiently strange that I would rec. a new keyboard. Nothing that I can think of outside of a faulty chip can cause that behavior.
Sounds like a prank to me, If you have XP (or a handicapped enabled computer) look under “START/Accessories/Accessibility/On-screen keyboard” to see if the keyboard map is in sink with the actual keyboard.
Ah jeeze, that’s what it is :smack:. Our 4-year old daughter apparently dropped the keyboard on the floor, and the “O” and “P” keys fell off. She put them back, reversed of course.
I feel like such a dope now for not noticing it. Thanks.
That is a classic!!!
It should be…
qwertyuiop
asdfghjkl
zxcvbnm
Yours might be…
qwertyuipo
asdfghjkl
zxcvbnm
A buddy of mine did that to me once, switching M and N.
I got him back, though.
Yeah, the version I’ve always heard of involved ‘M’ and ‘N’.
A slightly larger-scale version of this prank was done in my high school computer room, involving the spelling of famous four-letter words with the buttons.
