Best Answer

Shift + 2 = @ There is no "at" key on the keyboard. The "Alt" key, located directly left and right of the space key may be what you're looking for, or perhaps you are looking for the "@" key, which can be printed by holding down either the left or right shift key, and then clicking the "2" that is directly above the "Q" and "W" keys. Other possible problems include: 1. Your keyboard is broken 2. The input area is not selected.

Press shift and the number two at the same time and the result is @

A different answer

The answer is not the same for any keyboard: where the @ key is located always depends on two very important things:

  • for which country and language the keyboard was made

    AND

  • which country and language the computer has been set-up to support.

On my UK keyboard, if I press shift and the number two key at the same time, I don't get an @ sign, I get " (the double quote mark). I have to press shift and the ' key (the single quote mark) to get an @ sign.

So, whenever you ask this kind of question, it's always a good idea to say for which country and language you want to know the answer.

Equally, whenever you answer this kind of question, it's always a good idea to say for which country and language you are giving your answer.

The @ is usually found as the shift-option for the '2' key.
