Tilde/backtick wrong mapping in bootcamp

I replied in another thread too but this one is more on topic.

Find a copy of SharpKeys from http://www.randyrants.com/sharpkeys/. You can use it to remap the ~` key back to ~`. Run the program and press Add. Use Type Key to find it in the left panel, and select key 00_29 in the right panel. Write the change to the registry and log out and back in.

I consider this another bug in Bootcamp keyboard driver but it's been there for years and probably will never be fixed.

The best way to do this is to download Sharpkeys, an open source software available at http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/

You don't need to install anything, just execute the .exe.

On the main screen, ADD a "rule".

In the window above, use the "Type Key" button.

Just press the ~` key on the top left of the keyboard and you will see the window above. This is the key code for this key, which is interpreted wrongly as |\ in bootcamp. Click OK.

You now have to choose the new mapping for this key, as in the next image.

Then click OK, and don't forget to write to the registry, using the button at the bottom right of the main "rules" window. Reboot and that's it.

Try using the "United States-International (Apple)" input method. You can add it in the Control Panel -> Language.

maskedferret is the man. changing the input type to United States International (apple) did the trick.

I had problem in Windows 8.1 Boot Camp, with both the Keyboard layout and no sound at all.

I re-run the

Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621

from a USB and all my problem disappeared.

That's it

Correct instructions in Windows 8.1 Boot Camp are:

Control Panel > Add a Language (Under 'Clock, Language and Region') > Options > Add an input method (under 'Input method') > [then scroll down and select your countries Keyboard layout which is relevant to you xxx (Apple)]

The select add, Then head back to previous screen and remove previous input method, so your selected input method will be at the top (the only method)

then click save.

That's it

That's good to hear! I didn't really like the idea of using a registry hack to make mine work. When the Windows 8.1 issues with Bootcamp are sorted out for good, I'll rebuild my Windows 7 partition to 8.1 and try the keyboard change instead.

I just hope all the other keyboard mappings work with it too like print screen, etc.

Yes, I finally found it!

I'll try this as soon as when I get back home.

Yesterday nigt, I struggled to solve the issue on my haswell MBPr 13 inch.

FYI, I also had a problem with Intel's grahics driver when I installed win8.1, SAT was stoped and its control panel didnt appeared.

But it was solved by updating with the lastet driver which downloaded from Intel's site like as you do with normal win machine.

it seems fine, but I haven't use this machine for long time with the new driver.

Hey, having the same problem, brand new MBP Haswell, Installed Bootcamp as per Apple instructions but I'm using Windows 7 Professional N.

same problem!!! how to fix it?

It worked, thanks!
