Right control key being mapped to forward slash (/)

In a certain PC (Windows 7), the right control key is being mapped to "/". In other words, every time I press the right control key, / appears on the screen.

Things that I've already tried:

  • Uninstalling the driver
  • Changing keyboard

Since I changed the keyboard and the problem continued, it must be a software problem, but I still don't know the cause. Any ideas?

Found the solution: after downloading and installing SharpKeys, I opened it and saw that there was a weird mapping for the right control key.

The fix was to select the mapping and delete it with SharpKeys. After that, the key started working normally.
