Resolution Note:
This is expected behavior. The "name" reflects the immutable, internal control name whereas "displayName" reflects how the control should be presented to the user.
In the case of a keyboard, all names are assigned by physical key location. So "backslash" is the key to the left of the enter key and above the right shift key. Its display name will be set according to the current keyboard layout so for the UK layout, that'd be "#".
