Hi steve. Did you install the keyboards control software? Usually you can find it on the manufactorers website. I also had that problem with a keyboard a while ago.

Hi guys...anyone got any ideas why my new keyboard's right alt/control is not working as expected? this is the key to the right of the spacebar and when I press it for an "alt+control" command, no go I'm afraid, it's not executed or recognised or something. I've tried with a couple of keyboard layouts, english and US international, but still the same. It's slowly driving me nuts, as it makes using these keys a pain when I need to use keys on the left side...can't use the right hand for modifiers. It's not an expensive keyboard, £6 from Asda, but my other died after some idiot knocked over a full mug of tea onto it...ummm, that idiot was me! Any help would help me sleep better :p, cheers Steve.
