Bluetooth Keyboard - Wrong Keymap
I successfully paired my new Bluetooth keyboard (Netway, 77 keys, Win/MAC), but it works only as a numerical keyboard. What I mean is that I am able to write only numbers over few letters in the right part of the keyboard and the rest doesn't work!
I saw the same problem without any answer here: Bluetooth keyboard wrong keymap
I prefer to buy another keyboard, than to modify a whole keyboard layout :P
Thank you guys for any possible answer.

The issue is due to Numlock activating, resulting in part of the map being interpreted as a numeric keypad, and the rest doing nothing. At least with Apple compatible keyboards, the solution is to press Fn+F6 a couple of times to toggle Numlock off. You should also look into editing /etc/numlockx to disable Numlock by default. There is also a Gnome or X tweak mentioned at Apple Keyboard – Numlock on Apple Wireless Keyboard.
This post helped me a lot, but the answer was much simpler in my case. I had a wired keyboard connected to my computer besides the Apple bluetooth keyboard. NumLock was activated there. I just pressed the NumLock button in my other keyboard and things worked like a charm. Thanx
