Have you tried opening notepad and mashing the keyboard? – Douglas Aug 31 '10 at 9:54
Isnt the key to the left of the right shift a front slash? I thought backslash was the one above the Enter \ Return key? Or am i the one who's mixing up the two? – In Sane Aug 31 '10 at 9:55

You can use On Screen Keyboard (osk.exe) to reveal it.

It's probably the key on the right side above the Enter key.

yeah its labeled there along with pipe but does not give me backslash when pressing it, instead it gives: ' and * like a normal danish keyboard – Muleskinner Aug 31 '10 at 9:56

i think u have 104 keys on your new filco, on a normal keyboard (non-us) u got 105. so one key is missing. Maybe u have to tweak ur keyboard-layout

You could select a US keyboard layout in your operating system, which would make all the key labels correct. Of course, you would find it difficult to type the special letters and diacriticals which are in Danish but not English.

I know this is not what you asked, but pressing down Alt and typing 92 on your numpad makes an backslash...
