When people say the ~ key brings up the console, they mean the ~ key on the US American keyboard.

Well... Not quite everyone... I've got an azerty keyboard.
Just like everyone else does in Belgium and in France.

And raenor... maybe your key below Esc is just broken. Have you tried to push the key in Word for example and see if it works or not?
