I've done a search, and although the bug with the backspace key on the keyboard dock not working correctly after a JB update I can't find any other posts about the problem I am experiencing.
I have a UK spec 64Gb TF700 bought from Amazon UK that includes the keyboard dock.
I don't like the Asus on screen keyboard and to avoid the annoying backspace bug I prefer to use the Android keyboard. However if I use anything other than the Asus keyboard as default, the '@' key moves to the number '2' key and the number '3' key becomes '#' instead of '£'.
The system and keyboard languages are all set to UK English. I did have Swype installed but have done a complete factory reset to try to cure this annoying problem so now only have the Asus and Android default keyboards showing in Language & Input settings.
The tf700 is stock running JB and not rooted, anyone please put me out of my misery to cure this....?

I downloaded a Korean language pack and keyboard and changed all the settings to enable it, but it will only work if I'm not docked to the Asus keyboard. Is there anyway to enable to the keyboard while being docked and press the keys on the dock to get it to type in Korean? (If it matters, I did the steps in the "multiling keyboard") On a regular laptop, I can change keyboards seamlessly despite the physical keyboard being in English (just memorized where all the Korean letters are).
Just as a note, when I try to use a Korean keyboard when docked it says: "Change to ASUS Keyboard to keep consistency with hardware keyboard". The ASUS keyboard doesn't have a Korean option though.
Anyone have a solution?
Where did you get the Korean language pack?
bump for interest

Would you try the following step to choice language?
setting -> language & input -> configure input methods -> active input methods
Is is possible to configure the TF101 automatically change the keyboard upon connecting/disconnecting the dock?
I want to use the physical keyboard when the tablet is docked. When it isn't docked, I want to use Swype, because the Asus onscreen keyboard just isn't anywhere near as good as Swype.
Another problem I have is, for some strange reason, when using the Asus onscreen keyboard, long pressing the text box doesn't bring up the switch keyboard option. I experienced this today using Evernote, and have seen it in other programs.
Is there a shortcut on the Asus onscreen keyboard to change keyboards (not to another Asus keyboard, but to another installed keyboard)?
If not, is there an widget I can put on the desktop that will toggle between two different keyboards?
I'm afraid that automatic switching of keyboard is not possible. As far as I know the permission which is necessary to change keyboard from other process is not possible to get without platform manufacturer signature (Asus in case of stock Transformer)
For the keyboard switch yo can use a small keybard icon in the notification area.
There is an app to switch keyboards based on orientation. I remember it coming from someone on the N1 subforums. Try looking for it and contacting the dev and see if he's willing to adapt it for the TF.
It does require root though.
Hi,
I'm a big fan of SlideIT so i installed it on my tab as well.
Now, i'm a belgian user so my keyboard is Azerty. In slideit i can pick an Azerty layout; so far so good.
However, when i plug the tab into the dock (which is also azerty btw), the tab complains that the keyboard should be set to the standard layout to assure consistency with the hardware of the keyboard (but i want to keep using slideit)
unortunately, the end result is that the keyboard now reverts to qwerty mode ... (which is very strange if you think about since both the software (slideit) and hardware (dock) are azerty...
i've solved this partially by editing the keyboard layout file and remapping buttons but only for the most important keys and can't be bothered doing it for all of them...
anyone know of a more elegant solution?

Hey everyone!
I decided to hand in my transformer to the Asus service centre nearest to me for the battery drain issue, turns out they can't fix it and I need to send it into a bigger service centre for it to be taken care of. (anyways thats another story)
When I got my tablet back, I found that when browsing with my dock in a little black box would pop up to say 'English' (as it does when you turn it on and after a while browsing it pops up 'in Chinese Characters' and every character typed would come out as chinese. This didn't happen at all before.
I dug around a little and found when the keyboard is removed the on-screen keyboard now has an option at the bottom below the keyboard, that turns it into chinese.
And I found it is only when using the Asus keyboard (in settings -> language & input) and when I change it to the Android one it doesn't happen.
I don't like the Android keyboard (also lacks swype) and am much better typing on the Asus keyboard.
Can anyone please help? It is now impossible browsing the web when I have it set to my Asus keyboard as everything comes out in chinese
I'm going to assume you tried a factory reset?
I bought my tf300t in portugal whilst on holiday and was wondering whether it is possile to replace the keys on the keyboard instead of buying a whole new keyboard. Setting my keyboard layout in Portuguese creates a few problems especially with Swiftkey and it is different to work laptops so my fingers get confused.
