I was reading some of your instructions on debugging. When I run the debug kext and look at system.log I don't see any entries for ps2 keyboard.
Also when I edit the info.plsit I dont see a section for remapping keys.
I am running the kexts in the clover/kexts/other folder on the efi partition.

You can customize the PS2 map with ACPI. Refer to *.dsl in the repo for examples. This kext is primarily for laptops. For desktops, typically people use USB keyboards.
You typically use USB keyboards, maybe. Lots of people who like mechanical keyboards use PS/2 because of the abundance of PS/2 devices out there. E.G., this keyboard, and the IBM Model M. Thanks for the advice, though.
@RehabMan Thanks for the reply. Turns out the simplest solution was to switch to a ps2 to USB adapter event though I have a ps2 port on this machine. Now all the keys map correctly and I don't have to use the kext at all.

This isn't really a reason to close this issue. There are still lots of us that have PS/2 ports, and these USB adapters don't typically translate unusual keys' scan codes. I have two keyboards with multimedia keys that aren't translated by either of my PS/2-to-USB active adapters, one of which is using an original IBM controller board (i.e., the controller uses IBM's own reference PS/2 implementation). Pressing these keys while using a USB adapter results in the adapter completely ignoring the event and not passing it through.

@RehabMan I have the same issue with no such logs in console. I was running Big Sur 11.2 opencore
Just use a ps2 to usb adapter.

It's a laptop keyboard though......
MacOS Mojave 10.14.3
I'm using a Dell AT101W PS2 keyboard plugged into the ps2 port on my Gigabyte B75M D3H motherboard, with the latest version of the VooDoo kext downloaded from bitbucket.
When I press Windows Key + C I get a special character "ç" instead of the copy command.
Thinking that maybe the Option and Command keys were swapped I checked andthe modifer keys are in fact set to defaults.
Is this something I should handle with custom mapping in the plist?
Apologies if this issue has already been addressed elsewhere. I did some googling beforehand and didn't see this issue mentioned.
When I use this keyboard in windows the keys are mapped correctly.
