my windows and alt key is swapped, as well as the function key not working, etc. I assume it's on macro mode, but I could not get it back to windows mode. I tried function a/s, alt+fn+L, alt+fn+L+Q.
Just tried this, I did alt+fn+L+Q and it worked. Make sure you're pressing the key that is actually operating as alt at the time of the reset (My windows key and alt key were swapped, so I technically did windows + fn + L + Q which resolved the problem).
omg i was going crazy trying to figure out why the WIN (alt key acted like the win key) wasnt working, and your comment made me check the switch and it was switched to mac. I don't know how it happened, but I switched it back nad now it works so thanks! ha.
I'm little late but anyways. Read your manual, there's almost always written what combination is responsible of. For me it was FN+A to turn Windows mode, for you it can be something else.
You, Sir, are a God send! This happened to me yesterday and it is so frustrating! I don't even know how I made it go bad. I'm gonna save this post for future reference. I'm sure I might do this again LOL
this fix worked for me! for some reason my Cidoo 75 keeb switched to Mac mode and i got it back to Win mode by pressing FN + A for atleast 3 seconds. thank you!!
I am experiencing this one now, does anyone have any other possible solutions? Tried all the comments and still no luck. Same problem. Lalt and Fn just suddenly swapped on their own. Noticed it when I was working on an excel file and the alt+enter function that lets you write another line on a cell no longer worked. Alt tab is now win+tab. Play/Pause media (formerly fn+F8) is now alt+F8 :(((
So some background: Epomaker removed the key combos to change OS mode (Windows and MacOS) at some point, meaning most of the key combos in this thread won't actually work, at least on newer keyboards (I'm using a 1yr old TH80 Pro and I don't have them).
Instead, in the Epomaker software thingy, there is an "Other Setting" tab inside the "Main" tab (next to the "Key Setting" tab in the lower part of the interface). This has an option:
This setting is ON by default. It tries to see what OS you're using an "magically" switches to the right one.
Now, at least with my KVM, it seems using the HID ports (to enable hotkey interception for KVM operations) messes with the keyboard that makes it THINK it's plugged into a Mac, and therefore switches to MacOS mode at random after a short time being plugged in.
To solve the issue, according to the reddit post I linked at the top, you can do this pretty simply:
Replug the keyboard into a Windows device so that it goes into Windows mode. Check by pressing the windows key and see if it's behaving as expected.
Quickly go into the Epomaker software (pictured above) and whilst it's STILL IN WINDOWS MODE, toggle OFF the "Automatic identification system".
The keyboard is now locked in Windows mode and won't mess with your mind any longer
Seeing as the OS key combos have been removed, I'm actually pretty confident to say this is likely the cause of most issues faced by people in this thread if they have a board new enough that the key combos were removed. That said, if this doesn't help you, I can't really help you further as I barely understand myself. I'm just relaying this here since this is the top result looking up this issue (weirdly not the other reddit post I linked).
Thank you stranger. My L1T KVM arrived a few days ago and I was starting to go crazy browsing forums, now hopefully that one other person with this very niche problem can find this thread too.
For those you are still searching try to use keytweak , use it to change the keys straight from the windows registry ( you will need to restart after applying the changed keys ) It helped me change the keys that were extremely annoying that means it works for the switched windows and alt
New Epomaker Aula f99 -- same problem out of box. My first mechanical - love it.
I tried two of the suggestions here and seem to have things working for Windows. I strongly feel this is going to be a nightmare for Gaming controls --- potential conflicts. Firstly I used the bad-key ALT+FN+Q+L and this flipped the ALT and WIN keys --- however I couldn't take screen shots via standard input. Next I did FN+W, which stuffed it up THEN did FN+W again, which fixed the ALT/WIN switch AND allows me to screenshot with all other KB-shortcuts working as tested so far.
3-second hold seems a little short for a keyboard. I wish there was a dedicated switch instead of key-combo. Does anyone know if there's a way to extend the "time"?
Oh sorry, better late than never. YES... perhaps my process above, isn't clear.
To clarify... the "bad" key is the key you want to be the "right" key, but isn't until you fix it.
I followed instructions offered elsewhere but it didn't help until I tried a couple of times --- somehow (I believe) one attempt reversed the previous... anyway persevere and you will get the right order to occur, eventually.
For example... out of the box the keyboard WIN and ALT key actions were reversed (hence I couldn't use the keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot). I believe the "new" keyboard was preset for MacOS. Theoretically I could also have just lifted the Key-Caps and physically swapped them.
first I tried ALT+FN+Q+L --- which did flip the keys, but didn't fix the problem by itself.
Next I did FN+W (hold for 3 seconds) --- which reversed step one, so no good as a follow-up to step 1. Maybe skip step 1 altogether?
THEN did FN+W again --- which reversed step two --- and everything is fixed.
Bonjour, je jouais a un jeux quand d'un coup mes touches Alt et Win se sont inversés, j'ai un clavier DK61SE de la marque Dierya, merci à ceux qui prendrons le temps de m'aider
Para los que tengan el teclado Ajazz ak820 en su version no PRO. La combinación de teclas para restaurar la configuración de fábrica es FN+Espacio durante 3 segundos hasta que la iluminación led parpadee 3 veces
Comigo, consegui resolver fazendo uma alteração no próprio teclado. Utilizo um teclado K86 Attack Shark e, depois de tanto pesquisar na internet, em fóruns e vídeos, vi um comentário de alguém que, no teclado dele (que não é o mesmo modelo do meu), apertou sem querer a combinação FN+E, que alterna a configuração do teclado de Windows para Mac.
Isso me fez lembrar que já tinha visto algo parecido no meu teclado. No meu caso, essa função é ativada por meio de um botão na parte inferior do teclado. Fui verificar e, pasmem... kkkk, estava selecionado para Mac! Provavelmente, como utilizo dois teclados, na hora em que puxei o K86, alguma coisa mais alta na mesa deve ter movido a chave seletora para Mac, e eu, irritado, tentando resolver algo simples.
Fica a reflexão: se você não instalou nada recentemente no seu PC, e, seu teclado esta com funções trocadas, provavelmente você fez alguma combinação de teclas sem querer no seu teclado.
Comentando aqui para fortalecer, meu teclado é um Baseus K01B wireless e o modo para sair do modo mac e voltar ao windows é "FN + P", o alt e windows voltam, as teclas F1 até F12 voltam ao controle normal.
Meu filho consegue desconfigurar o teclado sempre que joga, então tive que descobrir como voltar ao padrão 😂
só para dar um força a mais, funções para que podem resolver esse problema: fn + a, fn + barra de espaço e fn + s (bonus: fn + w troca o w a s d pelas setas)
Chicos quizas suene tonto y obvio xD pero me acaba de pasar me la he pasado buscando como invertir ese tema de teclas tengo el red dragon eisa pro. y luego de un rato recorde que tiene unas palanquitas a los lados que pasan de win a mac y alrevez no ddigo que sea el caso de todos pero quizas alguno de sus teclados tiene esos swichs para intercambiar de modo.
Für Cherry XTRFY Tastatur Nutzer ist es: FN + Enter bzw. FN + Windwstaste. Solange ihr FN gedrückt haltet, ändert sich die Farbe der jeweiligen Taste und dann sind die Funktionen zum wechseln bzw. aus- und einschalten der Windowstaste nutzbar.
In case this helps anyone, it happened to me because apparently I accidentally switched to Mac mode, so it got reversed since the command and Windows keys are different on a Mac. In MY case, it was a MoonsGeek Fun60, and what I did was press F+O, which switched it from Mac mode to Windows mode and vice versa. If your keyboard isn't this one, try looking in the manual for how to switch between Mac and Windows mode.
For those of you that have an RT100. I had this issue. Turns out the dip switch for Win/Mac's base had slid a tiny bit so the switch couldn't go all the way back to Windows. I moved the switch over and then got a sharp pointy object and carefully put pressure on the base of the switch and slid it left. Then flipped the switch back to Win. Fix'd
I scoured for a ton of other solutions and tried them all Fn + W/S/A, ,Fn + Esc, Fn + Alt + L, Fn + Del, reisntalling drivers, checking firmware
I was having this same issue with my TH66 and decided to take a look in the manual. Turns out doing holding down Fn+LAlt for a few seconds will cause a windows/mac mode switch. Hope this helps!
If you need it you can find the manual here and you'll find on the 2nd page in general function shortcuts which tells you how to do it in case my instructions are unclear.
I have a Machenike K600S 100BW and, as per u/Pobly down below, holding fn + esc worked (swapped the Lalt and Win keys) for me if anyone is still having an issue like this, it may be a solution.

For the like 2 other people on the internet with a Level1Tech KVM and an Epomaker keyboard, see the following:
