In this article we are going to learn how to write the at on our computer keyboard. Although we believe that knowing how to put the at sign on the keyboard is something simple, not everyone knows how to do it. And it is normal, technology has advanced very quickly in recent years. And it is completely understandable that, until the need to write the at on the keyboard has existed, we do not know how to put it.

In addition, it is becoming more and more common to use the at sign for many things, especially when writing emails. Therefore, if you want and need to be up to date with computers and the internet and you don’t know how to put the at sign on the keyboard, here we will tell you everything you need.

How to write the at on the keyboard?

The first thing we have to know is that there are different types of keyboard. For example, on the keyboard of a computer with the Windows operating system, the same keys will not be used to put the at sign as on a Mac computer. On the other hand, the at sign is also put differently. Next we will know them all.

Typing the at on the keyboard of a Windows computer

Within the Windows operating system, there are two ways to write the at sign. The first way consists of the physical keyboard of the computer, whether it is portable or not. The other alternative is through the keyboard that Windows has incorporated.

Type at with the external keyboard on a Windows computer

To write the at sign on the physical keyboard of a Windows computer, we just have to follow a few simple steps:

1. The first step is to press the Alt Gr key. Usually, this key is located on the bottom row of the keyboard. We have to pay attention and press the right key because, in the same row, there is another very similar key. The key we are talking about is the Alt key. We pay attention and press the other one, Alt Gr.
2. The second step must be done at the same time as the previous one. Therefore, when we press the Alt Gr key, at the same time we have to press the key with the number 2.As we can see, the key that contains the number 2 has an at sign drawn on it. We must not keep the Alt Gr key pressed for a long time, since this could activate unwanted modes on the keyboard of our computer. You need to give a single touch to both keys at the same time, and the at symbol will appear.

Typing the at sign on the internal keyboard of a Windows computer

This keyboard is usually used when, for some reason, the at of the physical keyboard does not work or has broken. In any case, there are people who prefer to use this keyboard even if they have the physical one. To put the arroba, you have to follow the following steps:

1. The first thing we must do is click on the symbol to open the Windows menu. It’s usually bottom left.
2. When we have opened the menu, we look for the search option and click on it. If your operating system is Windows 10, the search option is visible in the bottom bar, on the left. So you will not need to open the menu.
3. Now you have to type on screen keyboard in search option. And when you get the keyboard, you just have to click with the mouse on the Alt Gr key on the virtual keyboard. In this way, the at symbol will appear and you just have to press it. In this way, you will have managed to write the at sign.

Typing the at on the keyboard of a Mac computer

On the Mac operating system , the keys and their functions change a bit. To put an at on the keyboard of a Mac computer, you have to follow these steps:

1. Search the keyboard for the key called As we can see, it is totally the opposite of the keyboard on a Windows computer.
2. As before, to write the at sign, we must press the Al key and, at the same time, the 2 key. In this way, we will have the at sign.
3. If the keyboard is not in Spanish, this combination is failed. If you have an English keyboard, you will need to press the Al key and the G key at the same time.

IPhone device

In fact, to put an at on the iPhone keyboard, we must follow the same steps as for Android. We just have to open the keyboard and press the 123 key. And, as before, this will show us the at key.
