Installing this keyboard in my K72JrR laptop, produces incorrect numbers and letter when pressed. For instance pressing Z = 8 ?ressing B =3 ?

Either ribbon cable installed improperly or this model keyboard is not compatible with your laptop.

I would check that the main (wider) ribbon cable is installed correctly - that the contacts on the ribbon cable mate to the correct contacts on the circuit board.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

the letters are in standard qwerty but the numbers are not standard if i recall...(i returned the keyboard as some of the keys stopped working)..some of the numbers use the same key as letters to compensate for its small size. Even though its qwerty its almost impossible to type in a traditional way...i had to type one finger at a time because its so small.

This answer is from a previous review which they initially gave 1 star... The following is a fix for the sticky keys..In a last-ditch effort, I pulled all the primary keys off and used a Q-tip and petroleum jelly to lubricate the slots where all the keys are installed. Once I snapped all the keys back in place....WOW....THIS WAS THE PERFECT KEYBOARD. It now works very smoothly and I still enjoy the benefit of the back-lighting and easy read letters. I wish I had done this easy fix when I first received it.

I don't really know but, it should. I got that keyboard and within a week, trashed it. It wanted to create it's own key functions while using it. None of the keys responded as they were supposed to. Ie..., the 'F' was some times, the 'H' key, none of them functioned properly at all. I should have sent it back for a refund but, it was cheap and I got what I paid for.

Have you got it to work before? I purchased one of these keyboards and had to RMA it twice. I got my money back after that and ordered another. I never got mine to work though, even after extreme internetting to find a solution.

Looking at your device, at the top right corner of the alphabetic keypad, directly above the "e" key, you will see a light blue key with an icon that looks like a lock and the characters - 1,2,3 - Press that key once, and that will switch the alphabetical keys from "a" though "j" to their corresponding numerical digits. Those numerical digits are on the keys from "a" through "j" in light blue, and very small and faint, against the gray keys. Then use those alpha-numerical dual keys to print numbers instead of letters. When done, press the blue "*lock* 1,2,3" key again, to revert to using keys "a through "j" as alphabetic keys. Hope I have helped.

The keyboard is supplied as the US version. However, System Preferences allow you to set the keyboard to function as one of many layouts, including many European options. So, for example, if set to UK keyboard layout the # key will give a £ sign if Shift-clicked, or a # if Option-clicked

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

I'm wondering exactly the same thing, since the reason for me to purchase an item like this is precisely to be able to use Spanish-language characters such as « ¿ á é í ó ú ñ Ñ Á ü », etc. Since the laptop's operating system is not designed for an additional set of keys, perhaps changing the keyboard configuration on the control panel might help?

It only displays an English keyboard (in a strange layout), but typing with a different layout than displayed works, as it just sends keycodes, not the characters - just don't look at it while typing!

The current image I see here on Amazon is incorrect, unless my suggestion for the correct one has been accepted/updated, this keyboard should look like this, http://www.hpq-parts.com/image/cache/data/products/505060-371-500x500.jpg

I have only had the keyboard a few months and the letters are fine, HOWEVER, the letters on the zxcvb row are not on the correct keys (the letter x is on the z key, for example). Could be confusing if one is not a touch-typist. Other than that the design and feel is good.

suggestions would include trying the function keys, ctrl +Num and Fn +Num. I have no problems. Did you check online on the eHow and others? Geek type computer sites for others with this keyboard? Good luck.
