For the past week, I have been having issues with keybinds in games & Roblox’s preset ones. I have not been able to chat properly, or open my backpack.
( This section has been removed in favor of update 10/09/2025 )
My regional formatting for dates and times is set to USA.
I am using Windows 11 Home 24H2
I am using QWERTZ, and my computer layout is German.
I have a mechanical Razer BlackWidow V4, which isn’t the issue as the chat is recognizing that # is the hashtag key when being clicked on.
The issue is reproduceable a lot, however the issue is sometimes not present. I am unsure of the conditions as to when this happens. I have attempted a complete reinstall of Roblox, however it remains random. The # and - keybinds work as intended in Roblox Studio, opening chat and toggling UI selection.
UPDATE 10/09/2025
Since I opened this report originally, I have made a bunch more discoveries throughout the weeks. This issue does not seem limited to just CoreGUI, but any input engine-wide (excluding typing).I hereby am renaming the bug report, and including all of my new findings within this update.
It appears that the keyboard mapping is not supposed change regardless of which keyboard layout is being used. So whatever the issue is appears to be changing the mapping of the keycodes, to no longer be what it used to be.
I can confirm also it is not just CAS (ContextActionService) or UIS (UserInputService), but it seems to be engine level! Here are my tests I have done with the issue present and the issue not present:
Broken Mapping
Note: “Minus” may appear correct in the video, but the correct output should be “Slash”.BackQuote turns into BackSlash
Slash turns into Minus
BackSlash turns into Slash
Öturns into BackQuote
Z stays as Z (Incorrect, it should be Y for compatibility
Y stays as Y (Incorrect, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)Working Mapping
( Don’t mind the Cities: Skylines 2 in the background )
Expected behavior
- and / should open the chat, not do nothing.
# should toggle UI selection, not open the chat.
^/° should open my inventory/backpack, not toggle UI selection.
