    About a week ago my RX2 started typing "b" instead of the comma. It appears to be the only character typing incorrectly and for the life of me I can't fix it.

    I haven't spilled liquid on it and it is not the keyboard inputs/languages as I've done everything possible to try and change them away and back.

    Has anyone got any ideas?

    Probably need to open it up and reset the keyboard.

    Do you have an external keyboard? You can connect it and see if it behaves the same way

    You can also try a system restore to a date before the issue started.
