    I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse but can't find the right keyboard layout. i can't get the backslash symbol to appear. as you can see, the backslash symbol is on the z key but I can't get it to appear. Have tried alternate layouts and pressing AltGR+Z. It's driving me mad :eek: Someone put me out of my misery please

    What is the make of the keyboard?? At the moment I'm imagining that it's the key, plus some combination of SHIFT/CTRL/Fn...

    Must be a Fn key combo or something cos I see one of the keys has four characters!

    The keys affected by an Fn combo are written in blue...

    Just downloaded KeyTweak from majorgeeks.com and remapped the Caps Lock to be \ Job's a good'n! Cheers for the suggestions all :)

    Why not just map

    '\' to SHIFT+Z
    '|' to SHIFT+CTRL+Z

    as suggested by your keycaps? Caps lock key is kinda handy at times...

    Yeah, I know that. I meant maybe it was Fn + function key (whatever one) plus the relevant key you want to activate?
