[solved] Keypad flipped (123 is 789, 456 is still 456)

Hey everyone

I've been chewing on this puzzle for awhile and have hit a wall. My numpad is swapped. This is what I know:

Two different keyboards do it while simultaneously plugged into different USB ports
It happens in Gnome, it does not happen in i3, xmonad, or a virtual console
I had installed numpadx to automatically turn on numlock, but I have removed it in the process of testing this
I've tried fiddling with locale and kbd settings
The number row is fine
Using showkeys --keycode, it also seems to be flipped. 123456789 is 77 78 79 74 75 76 71 72 73

Some other information:

I use LightDM with GTK greeter
The keyboards are a Microsoft 4000 and BlackWidow ultimate (don't think that matters...)

Let me know what else you need to know. Thanks!

There's an xkb option that does this. Apparently GNOME doesn't provide a UI for changing them anymore, but I did find this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … figuration

Specifically, you're looking for "keypad:atm". Remove that one and it should go back to normal.

Perfect! Thanks so much. I had browsed dconf but couldn't find it.
