Why am I unable to type the Thai characters โ, ธ, and ษ on my Aula S100 Pro keyboard even when pressing the Shift key?

If you are unable to type specific characters like โ, ธ, and ษ (which typically require the Shift key in the Thai Kedmanee layout) on your Aula S100 Pro, please try the following troubleshooting steps:Check Operating System Mode: Ensure your keyboard is set to the correct OS mode. While the manual doesn't list a specific toggle for Thai, ensure you aren't accidentally in a Mac mode while using Windows (or vice versa), as this can remap modifier keys.Test the Shift Key: Verify if the Shift key works for other characters (e.g., capital English letters). If other shifted characters also fail, the Shift key itself may be faulty.Check for Key Interference: The Aula S100 Pro features Hot-Swappable Sockets. If only specific keys (like the ones mapped to those Thai characters) are failing, a pin on the mechanical switch might be bent. Use the included switch puller to remove the switch for those keys and inspect the pins.Software/Driver Conflict: If you have installed the Aula custom driver software, check if any macros or remapping profiles are active that might be overriding those specific keys.Language Settings: Ensure your computer's input language is correctly set to "Thai Kedmanee" and not a different regional variation that might change the key mapping.If the hardware appears functional but the characters still won't type, try resetting the keyboard to factory defaults (usually Fn + Esc for several seconds, though check your specific software for a reset option). Note: If the issue persists across different devices, the keyboard may have a firmware or hardware defect.
