Swiss Keyboard, @ in wrong place under Botcamp

Well, it appers that I solved my problem....

The solution is as follows.

1) Control panel, Region and language, Keyboard and languages, Change Keyboards

2) Add a new keyboard, Italian (Switzerland), Keyboard, Show More

3) Select the "Swiss (Apple)" layout and make it current

It is really crazy that the proper "German-Swiss" layout can only be accessed under the "Italian (Switzerland)" keyboard. However now everything works, the @ sign appears with BOTH ALT+2 and ALT+G....

And all the other "alternate" symbols are still at their standard "swiss german" positions....

Hopefuly similar tricks can be employed for selecting the proper layouts also for other languages.

For me, the key point is to find a layout ending with (Apple). The others, without that (Apple) mark, are somewhat wrong for Macbook Pro keyboards...

What software tool do you use for mapping the keys under Windows?

And is this possible also for "alternate" symbols (right-Alt+Key)?

I searched for such a software tool, with no success...

Rudegar, thanks for your help.

But this utility (Sharpkeys), as many others that I have tested, simply do not work.

These are fine for remapping a keystroke which is already recognized with a different one. But these utilities cannot deal with the problem of a keystroke which is NOT recognized...

Launching Sharpkeys, when I attempt to type the key to remap (right-ALT+G, in my case), the keystroke is displayed with a code E0_1F22. After this, pressing OK, the following message appear:

And I am using the latest release of Sharpkeys...

The same happens when I attempt to remap the "Eject" button (I do not have an optical unit anymore, so the Eject button is unused - under OSX, I easily remapped it to "Prtscr", capturing a screenshot with a single keystroke, whilst under Windows I am still forced to use the Alt+Shift+F11 combination for getting a screenshot of the current window).

These software workarounds act AFTER the keyboard manager. If the keyboard manager does not recognize a key combination, there is no way to "remap" it after the keyboard manager... Or, at least, I did not manage to find a working utility yet...

Quote: "My real point is why do you have to do that?"

The problem is that Mac's keyboards are, in some way, out of standard. Selecting the standard layout for your intended language results in some keys misplaced (in my case the @ sign).

However, as I discovered, the Bootcamp package also contains proper low-level keyboard drivers released by Apple, which can be spotted out as their name is followed by "(Apple)".

The one for my keyboard (Swiss German), indeed, although being present, was selectable only selecting "Italian" as the main language.

I do not know this with certainity for other nationalised layouts, but in my opinion the Bootcamp drivers contain the proper drivers for ALL the Apple keyboards. The only difficulty is to convince Windows to show them, so that you can select the right one for your keyboard...

Once the proper Apple driver is selected, the keyboard works perfectly, with complete matching between the symbols printed on keys and the symbols being displayed on the screen, which remain exactly identical both in OSX and in Windows.
