    Question

    How do I type a question mark on the Logitech K270 keyboard?

    Answer

    To type a question mark (?) on a Logitech K270 keyboard, the method depends on your specific regional keyboard layout (e.g., French AZERTY vs. US QWERTY):

    • French (AZERTY) Layout: Press the Shift key (the arrow pointing up) and the M key simultaneously. On many French layouts, the question mark is located on the same key as the 'M' or the key immediately to the right of 'M'.
    • US (QWERTY) Layout: Press the Shift key and the / key (located to the left of the right-hand Shift key) at the same time.
    • Canadian Multilingual Standard: Press the Shift key and the 6 key.

    If the symbol appearing on your screen does not match the key you are pressing, ensure your computer's operating system language settings are set to match the physical layout of your keyboard.

  3. I need to change default mailto key, I used the wrong one

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I change the default mailto key assignment on the Logitech K270 keyboard?

    Answer

    The Logitech K270 Wireless Keyboard features a dedicated hotkey to launch your email application (Key #6, identified by the envelope icon). To change or customize the default application or action triggered by this key, you should use Logitech's customization software.

    • Download Logitech Options or SetPoint: While the basic Unifying software mentioned in the manual is for pairing devices, customizing hotkeys typically requires Logitech Options or Logitech SetPoint software, available at logitech.com/support/k270.
    • Reassign the Key: Once the software is installed and your keyboard is detected, select the keyboard image, click on the Email icon (F-key or Hotkey), and choose your preferred email client or a different action from the list of available functions.
    • System Defaults: If you simply want the key to open a different email program (e.g., switching from Outlook to Gmail), you may also need to change your Default Apps settings within Windows (Start > Settings > Apps > Default apps > Email).
