USB Keyboard on MAC: \ and < characters inverted
I have a strange behaviour with an USB keyoboard connected to a MacBook Pro laptop. Mac OS X version: macOS Sierra 10.12.2 (16C67)
In the laptop the keys are correct, but with the external keyboard the \| keys is inverted with the <> key
How can I solve this issue? hanks.
Solution 1:
This can be caused when the OS mis-identifies the keyboard. To get that back, clear the preference that saves which device is which layout.
How to reset the mac keyboard
I made as described in the post:
- Delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist
- Disconnect the keyboard
- Reconnect the keyboard
- Restart the os
After doing these steps, the keyboard had to be recognized again, and it fixes the issue.
The correct keyboard for Italian is ISO (Eur).
