Check On-Screen KeyBoard

There is a possibility that the issue of key swapping might not a hardware issue, but rather a software issue of your computer. To check this you can use On-Screen Keyboard and click the swapped keys using the touchpad or mouse. If the keys work fine then it means that the issue is with the keyboard hardware, if the keys don’t work fine then the fault is with your computer’s software.

 

Check for Physical Swap

Before continuing ahead, make sure to check whether someone is playing a prank on you, by swapping around the keys physically on the keyboard. Check and make sure all the keys are in the right spot on your keyboard.” sizes=”(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px” alt=”” width=”696″ height=”522″ data-ezsrcset=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-1024×768.jpg 1024w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-300×225.jpg 300w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-768×576.jpg 768w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-696×522.jpg 696w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-1068×801.jpg 1068w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-560×420.jpg 560w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-80×60.jpg 80w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-265×198.jpg 265w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap.jpg 1200w” data-ezsrc=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Physical-Swap-1024×768.jpg” />

Fix Key Swap From Language Settings

Another quick solution to fix the key swap issue on your computer is to check your language settings.

Some languages can change the layout of your keyboard.” sizes=”(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px” alt=”” width=”696″ height=”374″ data-ezsrcset=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-1024×550.jpg 1024w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-300×161.jpg 300w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-768×413.jpg 768w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-1536×826.jpg 1536w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-696×374.jpg 696w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-1068×574.jpg 1068w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-781×420.jpg 781w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language.jpg 1920w” data-ezsrc=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Language-1024×550.jpg” />

Fix Key Swap from Registry

There’s an option to remap or disable certain keys in Windows with the help of third-party tools and software. In some organizations, the IT admins remap or disable some keys to suit the organization’s working environment. You can check whether your IT admin has done so or not, via the Regedit menu.

  • Launch RUN and type “Regedit”
  • Navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlKeyboard Layout“.
  • Check if there’s an entry with the name “Scancode Map”.” sizes=”(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px” alt=”” width=”600″ height=”230″ data-ezsrcset=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Regedit.jpg 600w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Regedit-300×115.jpg 300w” data-ezsrc=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Regedit.jpg” />

If you find such an entry, to fix the problem you can delete the entry and restart your Windows computer (do take a backup of the Scancode Map entry, just in case required). If you don’t find any such entry then it means the IT admin hasn’t swapped keys.

Fix Key Swap from BIOS

If the Function and Control key of your computer has swapped their functionality, then a quick checkup of the BIOS menu might solve your problem. Windows do allow you to swap Function and Control Key using the BIOS menu of your computer/laptop. In such a situation disabling the toggle from the BIOS menu will fix your problem.” sizes=”(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px” alt=”” width=”696″ height=”522″ data-ezsrcset=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-1024×768.jpg 1024w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-300×225.jpg 300w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-768×576.jpg 768w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-696×522.jpg 696w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-1068×801.jpg 1068w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-560×420.jpg 560w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-80×60.jpg 80w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-265×198.jpg 265w,https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap.jpg 1440w” data-ezsrc=”https://gadgetstouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BIOS-Swap-1024×768.jpg” />
