| − | The keyboard mapping in Windows is set to United States-International. Installed languages are Dutch and English, the default is Dutch. To switch between languages or keyboard mappings, click the 'language and keyboard' icon in the tray and choose the option that you prefer.

| |
| − | [[File:ChooseLanguageSettings.png|thumb|none]]
| |

| |
| − | NOTE: one thing you should keep in mind is the fact that, when you change the active keyboard input language, this is done for the application which is currently opened. If you open another application, the input language used is the default one and you will have to switch it again.

| − | <br/><br/>
| |
| − | Special characters: press " followed by a, e, i, o, or u to get ä, ë, ï, ö, ü<br/>
| |
| − | Press ' followed by a, e, i, o, or u to get á, é, í, ó, ú.<br/>
| |
| − | Press ` followed by a, e, i, o, or u to get à, è, ì, ò, ù.<br/>
| |

| |
| − | Press ' followed by c to get ç.<br/>
| |
| − | Press ~ followed by n to get ñ.<br/>
| |
| − | Pressing ", ', `, ^ or ~ followed by spacebar will result in a single ", ', `, ^ or ~. Most likely, you can just continue typing: if the next character doesn't exist with an accent character, ", ', `, ^ or ~ will preceed the next character; for example pressing ' followed by s will result in the expected 's.<br/>
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | Press and hold AltGr (right Alt on our lab keyboard), then press s, and you will get ß as result.<br/>
| |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | Tip: if you think it is annoying that a single press on ' or " does not result in the character, think that you probably also need a ' or a " at the end of a string. Then, press ', or " twice to get double quotationmarks. Then use the left arrow to move the carret between the quotation marks and type the string between the quotation marks.

| | + | ===Mouse Sensitivity=== |
| | + | You can change the sensor sensitivity of our Logitech mice to change how fast the pointer moves across the screen with every inch traveled. This is measured in dots per inch (DPI). |
| | + | Press the DPI button below the scroll wheel to cycle through presets. A notification will pop up on screen telling you the current DPI level. Warning: notification may be delayed if you press the button multiple times! |
| | + | |
| | + | If you want to set the mouse sensitivity at a custom DPI value, or if you wish to prevent participants from changing the sensitivity (accidentally or otherwise), please contact the TSG. |
| | + | |
| | + | :ℹ️ This is independent from the pointer speed setting in Windows Settings. That slider should ALWAYS be set to 6 (the middle position), as any other value may introduce pointer acceleration, which is almost never wanted. "Enhance pointer precision" should be off for the same reason. |
| | + | |
| | + | ===RGB Lighting=== |
| | + | The Logitech G203 has some RGB LED lighting along its edge and below the "G" logo. You can alter the color or turn this off in the Logitech G Hub software. Ask TSG for help. |
| | + | |
| | + | :⚠️ Lighting settings will be reset with periodic Lab Computer maintenance updates. |
