How to use Magic Keyboard 2 on windows 10 with full function.

Hello, my name is Koji.

I want to know how to use Magic Keyboard 2 on windows 10 with full function.

So far I tried,

Normally connecting via bluetooth without installing anything.
the letter and number key worked, but the native function key didn't work
installing bootcamp 6 / installing the latest bootcamp on official apple website. (bootcamp 5.x)
I successfully installed it each time but it did nothing to the keyboard, same results as 1.

Thanx.

You can use Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier) and download the BC6 drivers package for the 2015 iMac 17,1 (Identify the model of your iMac - Apple Support) . These, amongst other models, support Magic Mouse 2/Keyboard 2 and contain the drivers.

In command prompt, instead of "brigadier -m MacBookPro 15,7", use "brigadier -m iMac 17,1".

Thank you again to LonerT.

Hello Koji. What is the year/model of your Mac? W10 requires BC6 drivers and may also need Apple Software Update for any driver updates that are not in the original bundle of BC drivers package.

Actually I build a windows desktop PC, so it's not a apple product.

Excellent. Please back up Windows and create a Windows System Restore point.
