Title: [HELP] Problem with VIA ISO layout (pipe key and #)

I am having problems with my ISO layout on my KBD67MKII using VIA. My pipe key ( | and \ ), in the bottom left next left shift, is activating my hashtag (#) and tilde (~).

In the key tester both the hashtag and pipe key activate like this: https://imgur.com/a/Fsloebz

And in text matrix the pipe key activates in the correct place and the hashtag doesn't appear to activate at all. see here: https://imgur.com/a/rf4S51F

Sounds like you're using a US keycode instead of an ISO one and/or the tester is reading the character the operating system says rather than adjusting for layout, like this one (https://keyboardchecker.com/) does.  What does Aqua Key Test (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34670.0) think you're pressing?

Yep, this was the problem. Just figured it out on my own.
Thanks for your reply anyways!

Hello,

I have the same kind of issue from several days. When i press my caps lock (configured in via) it is recognized as left ctrl, when i press windows key it is recognized as left alt, and when i press my alt key nothing happens. Can you help me to fix it ? I'm a bit lost :(

My keyboard is a kbd67mkii hotswap, and before the last week it was perfectly working ...

Thanks for the help guys.
