Recently I got a new keyboard with ISO layout and Spanish distribution.

The problem is that one key does the same function as another different key as seen on the image, those 2 keys should type different symbols, but both type "ç"

There is no problem with the one on the right (since it's the actual key that should type the symbol), but the one on the left should type the "<>" symbols.

I have tried uninstalling the keyboard drivers and restarting my PC, but it didn't work.

Also I tried changing my keyboard language distribution, but also didn't work.

I tried remapping the left key too, but both keys got remapped (and so the right one, that should type "ç", was typing "<>").

I would try to check what scan codes the keyboard reports for those two keys. Those scan codes are then converted to input keys (e.g. <), based on your keyboard layout. The tool Sharpkeys is able to display the scan codes. You can download the portable zip version and open "Add/Type key" window. It will you the scan code.

enter image description here

If the scan code is the same for both keys, you might have a hardware issue. If they are different, you might have a keyboard layout incompatability. I bought a US layout 87-key keyboard, but wanted to use it with a European 88-key layout. So I replaced the § key with the <,> key, which I actully need. Assuming you are using windows, You can use the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator utility to create your own custom layout.
