What really happens in most cases is that the configuration of our keyboard does not coincide with the configuration that Windows has internally. This is why we must pay attention to these two possibilities and thus identify what the problem is.

Know what type of keyboard I have

What we must do first is identify what type of physical keyboard we have on our desktop. It may be silly, but there are times when we acquire a new keyboard and we do not realize this fact. We can go crazy looking for a solution in the system when it's not there.

In this regard, we must look at what symbols appear on the keys of our physical keyboard.

Spanish keyboard:

The distribution that we normally use is called QWERTY.

The Spanish keyboard is noticeable to the naked eye because on one of its keys it has the Ñ as a letter. Fascinating we can have two types of configuration for this keyboard with the letter Ñ:

Spanish keyboard from Spain

Latin American Spanish keyboard

Different variations in the location of symbols that are not primary may vary depending on the keyboard manufacturer. For example, exclamation point or braces, etc.

There is another version of the Spanish keyboard called DVORAK, but it is less common to find it, at least in Europe:

English keyboard

It is possible that our keyboard does not come with the Ñ represented and that is why we will have to be able to identify it as the standard in other countries. The second most common to find is the UK keyboard layout:

American keyboard

The last keyboard that we will see for its also widespread implementation is the American keyboard. This is very common to find it in the countries of our Latin American friends:

Almost always this keyboard is the one that is available in Xiaomi laptops for example

Obviously, we cannot show all the keyboards here, but we would need a huge item. In Wikipedia you will have all the keyboards that exist in the world or almost all. There you can identify yours if it is not one of those that come here. Let's move on.

Know what type of keyboard I have installed in Windows 10

Now we turn to see the other side of the coin. We must identify if our physical keyboard matches the keyboard that we have configured on our computer. for this we will do the following:

• We open the start menu and go to Settings, which will be the icon of the cogwheel in the lower left part. Inside the panel, we will go to the " Time and language " icon

• Within this we must go to the " region and language " section On the right side we will have to identify the language that we have installed in " Language to display in Windows " If we click on our current language, an " Options " button will appear, click on the.

• Within this new window, if we navigate down a little, we can identify what type of keyboard we have configured in our system

For example, we have a physical QWERTY keyboard and we also have an equal keyboard installed, so the physical keys will coincide with the mapped keys in the system.

Fix unconfigured keyboard in Windows 10

Given these two things, now we have to match our physical keyboard with the system keyboard. To do this, we will start from the previous window.

• Click on " Add a keyboard " A list will be displayed in which we can choose absolutely all the keyboards that exist in the world.

For example, if we had a physical Spanish keyboard and an American one appeared here, the keys on our keyboard would not match the ones we typed. This is why we would notice the unconfigured keyboard.

So to repair this error we must match the keyboard we have with the Windows keyboard. Only in this way what we write on our keyboard will be reflected in the system.

Button on the taskbar

If we have multiple languages ​​in Windows, a button will appear in the right area of ​​the taskbar. If we click on it we can quickly change the configuration of our keyboard in the language we want.

And what if my keyboard is English and I want it in Spanish

Well my friend, if your physical keyboard is English and you want to write in Spanish, what you would have to do is get used to memorizing the position of the Spanish keys on your English keyboard. Otherwise you cannot have the letter Ñ for example

If for example you have a keyboard controlled by software where you can set the functions of the keys in a personalized way, it is possible that you can adapt them in a better way to your needs.

There are also rugs available on the market to install on your physical keyboard and change the symbols on the keys. This is useful if you have a laptop.

My keyboard is still unconfigured

If you have configured the same language on one side and on the other and the keyboard still does what you want, we may need to change the settings in the device's own software.

This will depend on the brand and keyboard and model and software used. It's up to you to research their profile options.

Another method to know if the keyboard operation is abnormal is to try it on other equipment. if it stays the same it is possible that the keyboard physically has some problem and you can make a bonfire with it.

This is the way to repair an unconfigured keyboard in Windows 10. As you can see there are quite a few things to keep in mind.
