External USB-Keyboard with Swiss layout

Hi Folks

After the Ventura update I have a strange problem with my external USB keyboard (non Apple) using Swiss German layout.

The § and < key on the left side were swapped, the layout on the MacBook Airs keyboard is correct. The same keyboard works fine with a MacBookPro using Monterey.

Keyboard preference shows the following layout on Ventura


and on Monterey



Any ideas?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1

Thank you for the link

So I did "sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboardtype.plist" and reboot. After login the keyboard configuration assistent popped up, but i did not use it, because at this moment, the layout for the external keyboard layout was fine in another window, I just closed the dialog and everything seems to be fine.

Thanks for your help
