The various models, such as the Magic Keyboard, either connect through Bluetooth or via a USB cable, so there shouldn't be any need for installing drivers. Of course, there are a few keys that are.
- Are there any FREE apps that allows me to use the apple bluetooth keyboards on Windows 10. The app needs to bind the keyboards key so that they work with windows (like binding the CMD key to WIN key etc). I also need to get the shortcut keys at top of the keyboard to work with windows =) Any free app does this?
- Apple Bluetooth devices (such as Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad) do work ok with generic Windows inbox drivers. But, some of the advanced features, such as Fn-keys and gestures do not work well because these devices speak “dialect” that is understood only by Mac OS and ignored by other operating systems.
