How do I remap Home Button key with Escape key on Apple keyboard?

I bought a bluetooth keyboard for $13, and it's pretty good except instead of the Esc key, there's a little square and it opens up Internet Explorer when it's pressed! I've tried 3 key remapping programs, and NONE worked, they either say that the key is not supported or it's disabled... I have no idea what to do, I am a gamer so the Esc key is crucial for me.
This is a picture of it:
On KeyTweak, it wouldn't even fetch the key in KeyMapper it would just open a new browser window. I've tried pressing Function and that Esc button, control and the escape button, etc.

I ended up remapping the Caps Lock key with the Esc key since nothing was recognizing that Home button key.

I had the same problem. Here is how I solved:
download & install autohotkey
create an
.ahkfile with this content:
Browser_Home::Esc
save & run it

Switch on keybaord and before typing press Fn + Q at same time to set keyboard in iOS mode.
( Fn + E = Windows mode )
( Fn + W = Android mode )
( Above works on my Arteck HB030B keyboard )
