    So I can type in US QWERTY just fine, problem is my top number keys

    With shift starting from 1-0 I get this.

    !"£$%^&*()

    This is OS level, as I plugged in a keyboard and get the same result, I have reformatted (via reset) and switch every setting I could think of to English - United States

    Yet I still have no at symbol and its driving me nuts lol

    Any tips? Thanks!

    Oh Thanks, will follow up via PM

    EDIT:

    In case anyone else comes along with this issue, basically the original installation was in done in the UK for the P750FM but for what ever reason, even after changing the Region / language etc etc I still had a UK type layout.

    @Spartan@HIDevolution was momentarily stumped, but swapped the language manually to another region under English, tested (which typed as desired) and then swapped back the United States - English and retested.

    Just another odd case of settings not being applied the first time.

    Thanks again @Spartan@HIDevolution !!

    Issue fixed in 60 seconds [​IMG]

    the fix was to add another keyboard language from Settings > Languages, then make that as the default, remove the current English US keyboard he had. Then re-add it but uncheck all the extras like language pack, display, speech, etc, then set it as default again. Finally, we just removed the temp keyboard language that we added.
