Save script and give it a name, like "Magic Keyboard Re-map" or whatever So here I want to share the process for all those people out there who are hoping to use a magic keyboard on windows!Ĭreate a script by right-clicking on desktop, then go to "new" then "new script" I set out on a mission to make it work how i wanted, and eventually downloaded AutoHotKey and wrote in some code to make it work as intended. Hi there! I've used an apple magic keyboard for as long as I can remember because I always loved typing on them when i was younger, so when I got a PC in college, I got a magic keyboard only to find out that the command key was coded as the windows key. TLDR - this is how you can easily make a mac keyboard work on windows the same way it works on a mac! This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc.

I looked at both Ukelele and Karabiner but the former looked overwhelming (yeah, then I went editing XML by hand.) and the latter doesn’t work in macOS Sierra (there’s a simplified “elements” version for Sierra). What’s odd, is that this keyboard layout has served me well for almost a decade and didn’t need editing, which is why I’m documenting it in this post. Logout and login to refresh and the key works! For example, the key next to the left shift is key code 10 so it was just a matter of editing the keyboard layout in a text editor and changing that to output “\”. Luckily, with the help of the Key Codes app I could detect the the key code of the physical key pressed. A long time ago Justin Mason created a useful Irish Fixed Keyboard Layout, but for some reason with this latest hardware upgrade it wasn’t working exactly as planned. This is not the first time I’ve had to fix my keyboard. They’ll say, “Oh, it’s some sort of PC keyboard?” Well, yeah. ![]() I’ve heard comments from people who use my laptop and they are confused by how shift-2 doesn’t print but ” instead, and the key by the left shift prints \ instead of ~ (which is over by the Return key). It’s a Microsoft split keyboard and has a bunch of extra keys that aren’t on a Macbook Pro keyboard, like a dedicated # key and the keys are all over the place compared to the laptop keyboard. ![]() I must have an odd keyboard, at least for one that’s paired with a Mac.
