epomaker hi75 keyboard keys messed up

I recently purchased a wired mechanical keyboard, specifically the Epomaker hi75 keyboard. I have been using it for the past few days and at first, everything worked correctly, but I must have accidentally changed a setting and can:t figure out how to fix it. Currently, my apostrophe key, the colon, and semi colon, as well as a few other symbols, have been mixed up and I:m not sure how to fix it. If there is something I need to do in the settings through the laptop, please let me know.

MacBook Air (M3, 2024)

This sounds like a typical case of wrong input source settings which you should be able to easily fix.


Go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > input sources. Make sure there is only one item on that list, and that the name of that item is US (if you normally type in English). Use the minus button at the bottom of the list to remove anything other than that.


If you tell us exactly how characters are mixed, we can probably tell you which wrong input source you have active.

I think that is mistaken. The OP says it worked fine but suddenly a few keys don't produce the right symbol. That normally means an erroneous input source has become active, like French or Spanish instead of English. Hopefully they can fix things by just removing the wrong keyboard layout from their settings.

It operates, so I agree on checking the keyboard layout.


For note…

Incompatibility Being a Culprit:

I plugged in a Razer gaming keyboard into my 2010 MacBook Pro once. It synced just fine for a day, but then I had troubles with the Mac’s charge from then on out. Observing the printed words on Original Packaging, nothing of macOS is mentioned. So, based on that, I’d say keep Windows-only compatible hardware off of your Mac.

epomaker hi75 Keyboard Keys:

Looking at the firmware, these is not provided for macOS: https://epomaker.com/blogs/firmware/epomaker-x-leobog-hi75-firmware. All there are, are exe files, and nothing of DMG files. I cannot find compatibility, but this does not appear to be macOS compatible. So, see if you can fix this, using a Window PC.
