My 'L' key makes a 'K'

[therealdrag0]

It's a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000, I just got it used on eBay for 20$.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Zachariah.

My first thought is that the previous owner smashed some keys out and replaced the L and K keys the wrong way round.

Are you sure all the keys are in the correct order? (K should be immediately left of L).

 

[therealdrag0]

Yeah, because k makes a k, and l makes a k.

Sorry, just had to say it.
On a more serious note, I believe there are programs that can remap keys, so it may be possible to map that L back to L.

$20?! ouch.

Its probably still under warranty w/ microsoft. Call 'em up and get it replaced. If you're adventurous, pop the keys, unscrew the screws, and see whats goin on inside there.

$20 could get you a keyboard/mouse combo brand new from your local computer store.

$30 would get you the ergo 4000 brand new, shipped, from amazon. I've even seen it for $20 before, but those deals aren't very often. Great keyboard, though.
