    Hi, can anyone assist me, please? I am running Parallels 16 on a Macbook Pro 2020 and in the Windows guest OS the @ and " keys are swapped around. How can I get the mac keyboard to work properly, please?

    Also for bonus points, :) is it possible to get the right click to work using a Magic Mouse 2?

    Thanks
    Roger

    Hello do these keys swapped around on the VM side?
    What is your keyboard layouts on the VM side?

    Hello, thanks for replying. It's on the VM side. When I run the windows 10 os parallels vm the @ and the " keys are swapped over. I'm using a UK version of the MacBook Pro 2020. In addition the # symbol is mapped to the \ key in windows as well.
    In the Windows VM the Keyboard, Region and Region format are all set to United Kingdom.

    Thanks

    Hello again, I managed to figure out that I needed to set the Language options / Keyboard and add the United Kingdom (Apple) Keyboard setting :). Sorry for wasting your time. Thanks.
