Hi,
I have a problem with keyboard on my virtual machine, Windows 10.
If using mac keyboard, layout is ok, all keys are mapped correctly.
If using external usb keyboard, only one key is switched. (\ and <) (if pressed \ swich to < and viceversa)

My currently keyboard layout is Italian.
Any idea?
Thanks, Nicola

Another details.
After update Paralles to version 16.0.1 (48919) in another Mac Book Pro, the same problem was appared.
Is a bug of this version?

Thanks
Nicola
 
I am having the same problem. All keys are mapped correctly except the | and \ key is swapped with ¬ and ` key.
This is infuriating. Worked before I updated to Parallels 16. I am using a PC keyboard with a Mac. Work fine in Mac OS.

Hello what is your keyboard layout on your VM side?
 
Hi,
I have the same issue : < gives @ and > gives #.
I have tried the solution given here but the issue is always there.
Thanks for your help or a bug correction please.

I'm having the same problem. I have a MacBook Pro with US keyboard and my Windows VM is set up with a US International keyboard layout.
I bought Parallels 16 during the Black Friday sale, and since then, my keyboard can't type the tilde (~) and grave accent (`), instead typing the section sign (§) and plus-minus (±).
Since I'm arriving late, I need to ask if the update's been released already, because if it has, it's still broken...

I should've mentioned I'm already on the latest Parallels 16.1.1 (49141) version. I checked the release notes and I see this remark:
Resolves an issue with the German keyboard layout (typing "^" instead of "<", "<" instead of ",", etc.).

I'm glad you guys got the German layout working, but I guess you still need to release a fix for KristianS1's UK English layout, LucianoB2's Italian layout, and my US English layout.
