Samsung PC keyboard not typing correct characters

Due to the limited space on a laptop keyboard, many keys will serve multiple functions. If they don't appear to be working correctly it's likely due to the alternate purposes of the keys being used instead. It's also important to have the language of your keyboard set correctly. Here are a few common issues and their solutions.

If the keys are not responding as expected, it can be easily fixed by adjusting the settings or checking for available updates.
