How to use new windows keyboard with Macbook Pro?

Hello Community!

I just purchased a mechanical keyboard from Amazon and I am wondering how I set it up. The keyboard is wired so it does work for typing on my Macbook Pro, however there is a 'windows/some sort of symbol' where Apple's command key usually is but when I click it, it doesn't function as so. Is there a way I can adjust/edit the keyboard so that the window's button on the left side of the keyboard becomes a command key? Also the control button on the left side doesn't function as a control key, I am unable to copy/paste/etc.


I usually use the fn key on my Macbook as a shortcut to the emoji's keyboard when hit twice

I would also like to be able to use copy/paste functions using the left sides keyboard.


Also, is it possible to use the PrtScn button as a shortcut to take screenshots?


Please help assist me with these issues and if you have any other advice that could help make this experience better!


I will attach a picture of my new keyboard, it is 104 keys Basaltech typewriter keyboard.


Thank you in advance! Happy Holidays!

The windows key should normally function as command. Have you checked with the support of the people who made the keyboard?
