    Keyboard is typing multiple letters at press of one button


    Hi! Not sure where i need to be placing this post, but I recently bought a keyboard from walmart (earlier today actually) so I would have an easier way to type in text chat for Elder Scrolls Online. For like an hour or so, everything was working great! Then
    my "A" key and my "S" key both started to trigger the other (I'd type either one separately, and the screen would show "as"). The letters seem to be "spreading" and now almost every key I press will trigger 1-4 other keys on the keyboard. Not all are next
    to each other either (asdfj). I have plugged it into my laptop and it won't work properly there either. I've attempted to look it up online to no avail. Not sure if I should just return it and get another one, or if it's worth fixing. Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Xbox One Keyboard

    I got a keyboard working with my console but cannot find the keyboard equavalent of the controller buttons.



    In particular the "x" button.



    I am typing an in app message but need to start each one with the x button. It is difficult to jugle the controller and the keyboard.



    I don;t care if it is a three key equivalent but it is easier than switching back and forth.

    Holding A button when typing on the Xbox one keyboard from controller

    I don't know if any of you know what does it do when you hold the A button on a specific letter when typing on the Xbox one keyboard from the controller but i noticed when i hold the A button on a specific letter for example R or k some different
    symbols show up on when holding a button on those letters on the keyboard and I'm wandering if that's a normal function of the keyboard menu I'm talking about the one that you use to search on the search bar for games on the store or when sending messages
    This is normal

    Xbox one on screen keyboard

    But do you mean to enter a letter, or a paragraph or to confirm what you wrote?

    If you mean to enter a letter, it's a button on the gamepad.

    If you mean a paragraph, the enter button on the onscreen keyboard has the same character as the enter button on the computer keyboard.

    And if you mean to confirm it is the MENU button.

    Manette Xbox Adaptive

    The Xbox Adaptive controller will only press the letters 'A', 'B', 'X' and 'Y' as they are the Xbox controller letters.

    I am not aware of any way to remap the letters so that they are 'S', 'Z', 'D' and 'Q'. Keeping in mind that they are the Nintendo Switch buttons.

    I will try to do my best to explain the lettered buttons.

    They are not like the letters on the keyboard, they are just labelled with those letters as way of us humans easily understanding which button relates to which in game action. they are simply a form of input for the game console.

    Also in all the pictures I have looked at of the Switch it shows that the lettered buttons are A, B, X and Y the same as the Xbox controller.

    Minecraft In-game text chat

    Sorry for the late reply, I was double checking this in my Xbox (I have a Series X)

    I was trying to replicate your issue, but actually I was able to auto complete the command.

    In case you need it, I do it in this way:

    Once I open the chat & commands. I start typing > I type first / > then I use a random command letter (in this case I want to autocomplete difficulty) > I typed only "di" > after that I pressed B button to hide the keyboard and then I pressed Right on D-Pad

    And that's it, I was able to autocomplete the command (if I want to choose a difficulty I simply hide the Xbox keyboard and then I press Righ D-Pad)

    To make it short, I hide the keyboard and then I autocomplete the command as usual (pressing Right on the D-Pad)

    If you're not able to do it even performing the steps above, we can try troubleshooting your console and the game
