Magic Keyboard and Mouse In Windows 10

I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows 10 PC.

I would like to be able to work with Apple magic 2 mouse and Magic (Gry Space) wireless keyboard on the PC using Windows 10.

I have download and install Bootcamp drivers for Windows, but regretfully have been unsucessfull to apply Apple drivers to these Bluetooth devices unders Windos 10.

The drivers for Windows are already made, BUT to use them under Windows 10 the .INF file made by Apple must be well written, accessible, to Windows 10.

As of now, I can use both devices but basic FN keys (sound volume, next/prev) do not work at all. Mouse wheel neither works.

A real Shame. I ask Apple to let us fully access our input devices when using a PC.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), Windows 10, intel PC using Windows 10 Pro

I have found this one:

keymagic64.inf_amd64_0cf413920cf2a532

a folder inside C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

Even I have tried updating the driver from here, though the files look the same, are dated 1/31/2017 . No change.

Volume and Media (FN) keys still do nothing.

Any further help would be appreciated.

On Macs, the Fn+<Function-Key> is a combination that can be turned on or off in the Bootcamp control panel. Such an equivalent does not exist on a PC, so you may not get full functionality of the keyboard.

Thanks again for your attention and help.

Well, my insistence is based on what this couple of youtube videos show:

How to use an Apple Keyboard Volume Keys on Windows 10 - YouTube

Apple Magic Keyboard on Windows 10 With Apple function keys Part 2 - YouTube

Hadn't seen those videos I would think it were not possible.

On the second video it used to update a couple of folders like the one I found and you asked me for:

keymagic64.inf_amd64_xxxxxxxxxx

Maybe some changes have happened in Bootcamp or back to my initial rant, there is something with the .inf file, Apple provides for Windows use?

Would be a chance that starting all over again, removing devices and apple files and cleaning up the Registry, Fn key cobinations (Volume controls at least) could work as expected?

Any further tweaking?

You are using MK2/MM2, which behave differently. Using BC5.x drivers is problematic, because these drivers do not have signatures that W10 enforces. You can try the same method as shown in the video and see if works for you.

Thanks for answering:

Nada. They show nothing, a black, inactive area. :-(

In Windows Device Manager, do you see any unknown devices?

Oct 20, 2018 7:23 PM in response to Loner T

Windows won’t take a driver for the human interfaces, ie. Perifirul device. You have to make Chang on the Mac side.

Media (before/Pause/Next) keys work, ONLY when the keyboard is wired to a USB on the PC, Wirelessly only the fn+F7 acting as Pause key works !

The USB and BT connections behave differently, and use different drivers.

These files should already be in place. Can you search on C:?

Can you turn on the on-screen keyboard on the W10 PC and check what the non-working keys generate on the on-screen keyboard?

Do 'normal' keys work and show up on the Keyboard?
