Getting wrong characters on Sharkoon Skiller Pro keyboard on Mac OS X

I have a new gaming keyboard, called the Sharkoon Skiller Pro and I’m trying to use it with my MacBook Pro (2014). But it seems like all of the different keys are at different places.
For example, I press the delete key and it shows # on the screen. I already tried to change my keyboard layout in the “System Preferences” but nothing worked.
Is there someone out there who knows how to fix this?

@armani To be fair, lots of standard USB keyboards can competently work in some way with Mac OS X. So it’s not inconceivable this keyboard could work with Mac OS X.

According to this review from “Mark” (April 18, 2013) on Amazon titled, “If I could go back a year, I wouldn't have purchased (updated)” this keyboard won’t ever work correctly on Mac OS X no matter what you do:
So, for starters, for those looking to buy this keyboard to use with
OSX, don't. It's not compatible and there are no drivers or software
available from the manufacturer for OSX. There aren't any work
around's and OSX won't be able to recognize it if you try to configure
it through settings.
