I had the same issue with my U300s. When I pressed "t" key, the key was recognized as "F10". I'm using the US key mapping. It started less than a week after I received it from Lenovo.

From what I see, the cause of the symptom is not in the OS level. Like Will stated I observed the same symptom in the BIOS level.

I applied the latest BIOS update from Lenovo (ver. 56cn43ww) that was released on April 20.

After the BIOS was updated, the wrong key mapping was fixed. I assume Lenovo was aware of the mapping issue and included the fix in the current BIOS update.

One thing to note is that you may need to restore the factory default OS (Win7) to apply this update since no iso version is distributed by Lenovo at this moment.
