Yes, sorry. My bad. I answered from my phone

With showkey I have the code 42 In alt, ctrl, shift and windows. Again, the
same code on the keys :/

I'm from Argentina, So I don't have an english keyboard.

The keyboard works fine on windows :/. ¿Maybe is a Driver thing? :S

I dont know what else I can do :S. Is really a nice keyboard :'( jaja.

Thank you!
