Then if you ever have to reinstall Windows, just open KeyTweak and load the file! Or if you put an Apple keyboard on another machine, do the same, and you won't have to redo all the tedious mapping. Instead, go to File->Save Remap File As, and save your mapping. THAT will change the Registry and remap your keys! IMPORTANT: The app will ask if you want to reboot. Continue on changing all the keys you need by REPEATING ALL THE STEPS. In my example I selected Mute.Īt that point you will see your choice in the Pending Changes Box. If this does not work, follow the steps above to pair the keyboard and mouse outside of Windows. Then select, from the DropDown, what Function you want the selected key to do. NOTE: If the keyboard or mouse is not connected the next time that you boot, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse a few times to reestablish the connection.You'll see a numeric ID for the key appear. Then press the key you want to change.In the windows that pops up, click Scan Single Key.All my devices are, lol.īTW, KeyTweak is downright confusing to use. If I have to use Windows, at least my keyboard interaction is Apple.

Got my first Mac in '90 (16lb Portable) and my SE/30 is sitting right next to me in my office.

The cool news is you can use the Apple devices for use on.

Why go through all this for a Windows machine? Sanity. This presents, however, an issue for users who favour Windows 10 or who work for only Windows. All This changes the registry in Win 10 so if you pop on a std keyboard, make sure to run KeyTweak again to reset the Registry back to normal! There's no way to program the Eject button to do anything but Optical is fading into the horizon anyway, lol.

In short, just click the right mouse button to perform a right-click on Mac. Apple Bluetooth devices (such as Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad) do work ok with generic Windows inbox drivers. And it automatically maps them accordingly. The macOS smartly recognizes that you are using a mouse with two or more buttons. If you connect a non-Apple mouse with your Mac, it works the same way as on a Windows PC. These are just my suggestions but for Windows it works. Right-click on Mac with a non-Apple mouse. Oh, and F13 Print Screen, and the Clear button I make Num Lock. I also like to to make F16 my Play/Pause button for iTunes, and F17 & F18 my Up-Down Volume keys and F19 my Mute. Those need to b reversed so they are used to where we know them. Right now Command is the Windows key and the tiny Option ket is ALT.

Next I will use KeyTweak and remap some of the keys. My cheesy Dell here at work doesn't have BT but I'll get a cheap dongle from Amazon and try it. There's a tiny On/Off switch on the back right edge, that needs to be on even if you are plugged into USB. In fact I'm using a third-party PUR braided cable, typing on the Apple keyboard right now. Yes, the new Magic keyboard works just fine (the 2017 wireless extended one that is) with the supplied USB/lightning cable.
