Apple wired keyboard - single letter wrong

Show all headers | View raw

Odd one. I have a model A1234 Mac wired keyboard (the one with the 
number pad). All of it works except a single key - 'x'. Instead of 
typing an 'x', it types a '`' (backtick) character instead.

I find this really odd - can understand several keys being wrong as 
maybe being a membrane or controller issue. But just one? It's 
consistent across multiple machines as well.

Is there anything on the keyboard itself that could be causing multiple 
machine to recognise it this way? Would like to know before I go to the 
inevitable unscrew-the-keyboard-and-poke-about stage (invariably 
leading to the "damn, needs throwing away" stage).


Cheers,
Ian
