Keys swapped on Keyboard

Hello everyone,

I pressed some weird key combination (I have no clue which one) and now my > and ^ aswell as < and ° keys are swapped.

How can I get it back to normal?

I already tried changing the Language in Settings and Unistalling the Keyboard in the Device Manager. I even tried a System restore, to the point it was before the change happenend, but nothing helps.

I have a wireless QWERTZ keyboard. Kinda like this one:

/www.amazon.de/Jelly-Comb-Wiederaufladbare-Smartphone-Fl¨¹sterle/dp/B07BRRXGKP

with the Strg key in the bottom left corner and the the Fn key right next to it.

So normally I press Fn and y to get < and Fn and x to get > but like I said its switched with the top left key (second row) for ^ and °.

This is very annoying, please help.

Thanks in Advance.

    Hello Elise,

    I fixed the problem now by myself.

    If anyone has a similar problem:

    The solution for me was to hold the FN and S (which for this keyboard has written Win in blue under the S) keys and now the keyboard is back to normal.

    Thank you for your time and help anyways.

    It appears to be something specific to this keyboard, did you receive any documentation with it that may give any information on what keyboard shortcuts might be available?

    Kind Regards,

    Elise

    Hello Elsie

    unfortunatly this did not help.

    I can switch between german and english keyboards, english keyboard changes the layout completly and on the german one (which I'm using) the problem still persists.

    Kind Regards

    Lukas
