I have had this keyboard for over a year and have never been able to get the alt + Nos keys to work. Is this normal for all of these keyboards?

Use the Alt key that is located on the left side of the space bar. It works fine in my keyboard.

Kent...UPDATE to my Post under C. Watts - I was able to reinstall the keyboard and get the F5 key to work. While the quality of materials is lower on the current generation of keyboards, mine is working fine and the quality is acceptable. As far as spacebar issues and such, I think it's just a break-in period you have to go through. And truthfully, this is the best layout of a keyboard I've ever used. I use it every day, all day long and just would not want to be without the split design.

It sounds as if it has failed. It is just a standard keyboard. Mine was a gift so I don't actually use it. The person I gave it to loves it.

I had this keyboard for a week and it has ghosting problems. Example, you can't press shift + x + arrow keys at the same time. Searching online for "microsoft sidewinder x6 ghosting" you'll find a bunch of articles about this and issues with other key combinations.

no issues with the keys repeating. having issues with the keys not working. sometimes i have to hit the key twice, esp the space bar. what other issues are you having with the keys?

huh? why not? Does the fn key not work on your keyboard? Im sure that you can use your keyboard to set up the game and then use the Nostromo to game. The device is not a direct replacement of the keyboard, as im sure you know.

I set mine up with the control key instead of the default(can't remember what the default key was). I press control twice fairly quickly and then hit enter to switch. Once you hit the control key twice, your cap-lock and scroll-lock lights on your keyboard should alternate(if you have lights)... it's waiting for the enter key.

The toggle switch is the only way to enable the Fn keys. There is no alt-esque Fn key that you find on some laptops. I'm used to have dedicated volume keys above the function keys on my keyboard and it's a small nuisance to click the switch over to use the mute/volume up/down on F2/F3/F4 but it's bearable. It's also much nicer than the caps lock style Fn toggler which is always just confusing.

Although my keyboard worked perfect from the start,sounds like yours is defective. I would return it if i were you. Sorry you had a bad experience.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

All the keys light up for me. None of the different lighting modes just dim the F5 key. I think you should return it.

In my experience (several months), there has been no compromise whatsoever in normal keyboard function. I can use any and all key sequences and combinations I have used on any system with a standard wired or wireless keyboard connection.

I have had two of these keyboards and both had keys that did not work. Get another brand.

When I talked to support I suggested they change the keyboard embossing. If you can figure it out let me know. I just decided to use my old keyboard.

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.

well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an answer in 30 days.so i would not buy this again.hope that helps well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an... » Read More well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an answer in 30 days.so i would not buy this again.hope that helps « Show Less
