Legend overlay:

Scancodes are generated by keyboard firmware, identifying the individual physical keys on the hardware and therefore do not depend on the software keyboard layout. While keyboard layouts cannot influence the values, Windows supports remapping incoming scancodes (and so disabling Caps Lock for example).

Scancodes do not depend on modifiers, except as for below:

KeyBase stateControlShiftAlt
PrtSc/SysRqE0 2A E0 37E0 37E0 3754
Pause/BreakE1 1D 45 E1 9D C5E0 46 E0 C6

This page shows the Set 1 scancodes as hexadecimal numbers generated on key press. For other sets, see below.
