Why is a Number Pad on a keyboard flipped from that of a Phone?

The number keypad on a typical keyboard follows the layout used in adding machines (for the days when they were mechanical).  Anyone who uses (or used) an adding machine did not have to relearn where the key are.\nWhen the telephone was switching from dial to key (digital) pad, the original design engineers thought that the numbers should be placed in the same manner that people read English (top to bottom and left to right).

your problem is just that your thumb is way more active than your index finger on your left hand.\nthe current keyboards aren't designed properly, in fact the reason for their design was so that typewriter salesmen could wow there hosts by typing out typwriter quickly and easily using only the top keys.  plus you are probably right handed

Cell phones with super small keypads are not user friendly.

I had the exact same problem with my last keyboard, The key which is supposed to be " actually was @, and then the other way around. I just had to learn to live with it, until I got a new keyboard and now everything is normal, I tried everything to fix the problem with no success, I don't even know which made it switch from " to @ it just happened one day, so my advice would be to live with it and you will quickly learn to automatically go to the right key, either that or get a new keyboard.

Either someone is running one of the gag programs on the computer which flips the screen (in which case a reboot should fix it), or he has pressed one of the key combinations that inverts the screen.  Normally they only work on laptops....\n\nHave him try Crtl+UpArrow, Alt+UpArrow or Crtl+Alt+UpArrow.  Usually one of those three will fix it.

ya hi there i think that problem is a hardware problem in ur keybord that because in the keybord there is a cpu for controling the interupt code that out from the pushing of the keys so this cpu is a controller and it is possible to be damged and when it is damged u well have a deffrent problems with ur keybord so my advise to u buy a new 1 and have a nice writing.

It may be that your keyboard settings need changing to UK. Go to control panel to do this or it might be that the keys are stuck or dirty, if so take them off carefully with a knife and clean.

hold down ALT key and type 0176 on the number keypad then relase ALT and you get °\n\ndon't use the numbers on top of the letters, only the numbers in the calculator like bit on the side work,

You might not have held it down for 12 seconds, but, instead you might have pressed shift 5 times, which activates sticky keys, if your shift button is now acting like a caps lock key and screwing up your numbers as well, you should just be able to press shift 5 times again and choose to deactivate sticky keys.\n\nThat's the best I can guess with the limited info your giving, If you can give me more details as to how your computer is messed up, then I can try to figure out a better solution.

The QWERTY keyboard was designed ergonomicallyso that the most often used keys would be appropriately placed for easy reach.  The other (not so) big layout is where the keys are arranged in alphabetical order.  I don't recomend this as a solution.  Here is another to investigate as well: Dvorak

i think everyone is missing the point of the question. if i am correct he is asking about the actual positioning of the print on each individual key. now to answer the question, i have NO idea. hehe sorry.

I like to use the Alt key also.  Alt 173 (use number pad) is an upsidedown exclamation point and Alt 168 is the question mark.  Check it out.   You can use different number combos to make a lot of symbols and even letters.  For example, Alt 99-Alt 122 are the letters of the alphabet, and Alt 155 is a cent sign.  Pretty cool.

you have NumPad "on" in your keyboard. Press combination of Fn + NumPad button to turn off numpad. after, make sure some light at top of your keyboard representing NumPad is lit off. It will work fine
