Let me start by saying that I use a European Keyboard,
I have found a problem regarding some of the keys used in
various klik-games.

All to often when a game uses more buttons than ctrl & shift
I find the remaining keys very hard to locate, example:

\ = What key? I typed that using "alt gr" and "+", its often
used to relode and such in action games.

Does anyone else encounter the same problem?

you cant find the "\" key? surely it must be there, because otherwise you wouldnt be able to type local directories into explorer. on my keyboard its on the left next to the shift key .

try going into your control panel and setting your keyboard layout to american. then if you press a key then it would be read as if the layout was american.

Do you have a QWERTY?(top left, first 6 letters)

If so, look to the right of ZXCVBNM and there should me ,./[shift]\

Note: sometimes \ is placed above enter(which is sometimes called return)

There is nothing to the left of the left shift.(for me anyway)

[,][.][/][shift][\]

Easier to see the keys with []

It could be a Dvorak keyboard, which would explain the weird layout. The slash on most of those is to the right of the tab button though.
