Hi there,

just received my JetKVM and it works really great. One issue I have is if I want to use "@" or "/", that are really important to me. Since I'm german, I'm working with a german keyboard and layout. This keys have to be pressed together with the key "Alt GR" in this layout. This just does not work with JetKVM. Also virtual keybord and c&p do not work. It is really important for me to get this issue solved or a workaround.

Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance!

Same here cannot type \ on English keyboard layout # appears instead. Remote desktop is fine, I tried different classes of keyboard under hardware still not working.

#116 will resolve this issue, for now try to use Alt codes or switch your kvm machine keyboard layout to US English.
