Hi,

our hardware colleague developed a own special kind of keyboard. It is used to start specific task on our computer....

it is not used to input normal text.

In the past 2 or 3 years everything worked well. But now we have a special new use case "Windows 10 with Japanese keyboard layout) .... As far as we investigated the issue, .... we saw that one of the scan codes, which is sent from our own keyboard, is a scan code that is also sent for the Japanese keyboard.
==>

1. Where can I find a good & COMPLETE overview of "predefined scan codes"? I mean scan codes which are assigned to a specific key?

2. Where can I find a good overview of "FREE" scan codes, that are not predefined and which we can use for our own keyboard?

On my first quick attempt to find a good overview, I found no good documents, specifications, etc... of "predefined" and "free" scan codes..... Can someone please tell me links to good, well structured & COMPLETE overviews of such "predfined" and "free" scan codes?

3. Which organization ( like IEEE, ISO, etc.... ) defines the scan codes ?

What I have tried:

Why can't you do your own searching? It's really not the difficult.

It doesn't quite work like that.
We do not do your work for you.
If you want someone to do your reasearch for you, you have to pay - I suggest you go to Freelancer.com and ask there.

But be aware: you get what you pay for. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

The idea of "development" is as the word suggests: "The systematic use of scientific and technical knowledge to meet specific objectives or requirements." BusinessDictionary.com[^]
That's not the same thing as "have a quick google and give up if I can't find exactly the right code".
So either pay someone to do it, or learn how to find it yourself. We aren't here to do it for you.
