Can't type the tilde (~) character in Mac OS X
Problem
This is a new problem that I did not have a few weeks ago. I have a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard running on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The problem is that I cannot type a tilde ( ). Instead when I press the tilde ~ I get this character: I cannot for the life of me figure this out, except that I vaguely remember I can asked to redetect the Mac keyboard layout for this keyboard and I think i chose the wrong one. Now I get this weird character when pressing tilde. How can I fix this? Or how can I redetect this keyboard layout?

Fix for: Can't type the tilde (~) character in Mac OS X
On a keyboard with that <>| button between the left Shift and Z, holding down Shift and pressing that button works on my end. Neither Alt+5 nor Alt+N do the trick on my end.
