How can I get the tilde key to work in windows 8.1 running on boot camp? It seems to have mapped the tilde (`) or with shift (~) key to output a (\) or with shift (|). The tilde key is used to open the console in many windows games (like skyrim) so I was wondering if there was a way to fix this problem.
MACBOOK PRO (RETINA, 15-INCH, LATE 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Try maskedferret's answer in this thread. It worked for me:
The method I used for Windows 7 SP1 which may work under Windows 8 was to uninstall the Apple Keyboard driver that BootCamp installed and installe the slightly older one from BootCamp 5.0.5033.
Old driver was 'Windows Driver Package - Apple Inc. Apple Keyboard.......'

Hope this helps as it a lot easier solution than some of the other fixes out there.
Thank you. This solved my question.
