Wrong key assigned to the Alt key for the ERGO K860 keyboard

[Richcoop]

I'm using the Logitech ERGO K860 keyboard, which has the keys "opt|start" and "cmd|alt". The keys work correctly on the Mac, but they are incorrect on the Windows guest. On Windows, the "opt|start" key has become the Alt key and the "cmd|alt" key has become the Start key. To try to solve this issue, I opened the Windows settings and deleted the default keyboard (that ends with "(Apple) - Parallels") and added the "US - QWERTY" keyboard. However, this didn't solve my problem. Any ideas?

Hello, This is likely related to the way keys get translated between systems. The keyboard has 2 modes, which are detected when you connect it to the respective system, or switch it using Logitech software. If you are using your keyboard in macOS and Windows virtual machine simultaneously, then the keyboard is in macOS mode, and ""option"" translates to ""Alt"" and ""Cmd"" translates to ""Start"" as it would with the Apple keyboard.

It seems like you're having some trouble with the key assignments on your Logitech ERGO K860 keyboard while using it with a Windows guest. I understand how frustrating that can be. One possible solution you can try is to check if there are any specific keyboard settings or drivers that need to be installed for your keyboard to work properly with Windows. You can visit the Logitech website or reach out to their support team for assistance. Additionally, if you're looking for a keyboard with a trackball, you might want to consider checking out the infra keyboard with trackball from emfclothing.com.
