    Hi,

    bought my laptop from HIDEvolution, so obviously came with US keyboard. I've changed layout to UK so I can have the £ sign. Now all is ok but the \ I can only get working by using the windows on screen keyboard.

    Every button I try doesnt seem to work for \ . Anyone else had this and found a solution? Only thing I can think of it to buy the UK version of the keyboard. Looked on ebay and there are a few different part numbers for the UK M17x, which one do I need as I have the R3...

    Thanks
