Some keys on Amiga Keyboard are not working (A1200NG, OS3.2.3)

[birko70]

Hi!

I'm new to the A1200NG. And I have a question and hope someone can help me:
I have running AmigaOS 3.2.3 on my 1200NG. My keyoard is a new mechanical keyboard from Amigastore.eu built for real Amiga 1200 with US layout.

Problem: the backslash key is not working or, at least, nothing happens when I press on that key.

If I switch layout of the keyboard, for example, to german then I see characters on screen when pressing the \ | key. But neither with US nor with GB layout. Also the "(" and the ")" keys on the numberpad aren't working.
A problem is that I don't have an Amiga 1200 with OS3.2.3 to test the keyboard on real hardware.

Does anybody has an idea? Any help is welcome... because otherwise I can't use and create blitzbasics custom types

I have had keyboard issues with 3.1.4, 3.2+.
Best way to test, is go into early startup menu and press the keys that are not working. See if it switches between NTSC and PAL. Its a tester of sorts.
Test with KS 3.1 and then KS 3.2.3.

I'm glad I'm  not the only one experiencing odd behavior.  Using a USB keyboard seems ok, but I thought I was going mad.

Following with interest.

From your test, the key is physically working.  I had this same problem a couple of days ago on the PC at work when I changed from WinUAE v4 to v6, without any changes to the emulator configuration, in the same OS3.1.4 environment.

The problem/solution was that in the WinUAE keyboard input settings, the default WinUAE keyboard had backslash 'input target' incorrectly mapped to something else.  Editing the input target to backslash resolved both backslash and pipe not working.

You may need to perform the same thing in the Amiberry configuration, it's based on WinUAE.

I'll have to check if the number pad bracket keys are a problem too, I don't typically use those.

That sounds interesting. Could you tell me where I find the configuration file of the A1200NG? I didn't even get any documentation with my A1200NG board  .

My Amiga keyboard is a brand new one  .

I have a (real) A500+ (over 30 years old). But as I know the keyboard is not compatible (or at least the cables arn't)?!
