    If you have a non English/US keyboard and if you open the "BIOInput.ini" under "Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect\Config" and add "ConsoleKey=TAB" to the "[Engine.Console]" section

    and save the "BIOInput.ini" afterwards, the console will work on both the Steam and the Origin versions of the Game.

    Any key that is not bound to a in game action and not exclusive Windows bound will work too, as long as you enter the correct key name into the "[Engine.Console]" section of the "BIOInput.ini". You can test that with the "+" key of your keyboard set to your native language. ConsoleKey=+

    Setting a second keyboard and removing the native keyboard from the Windows settings is not necessary.

Or use the "TAB" key instead of the "Tilt" key as console key. ("CapsLock" as example works too.)

That way you don't have to change your Keyboard language before starting the game.

Nope, because i tried that and didn't work at all. And i wasn't the only one.

So when no keys works, my solution solved the problem.
