To achieve this we will use the same program, SharpKeys to generate a set of Windows Registry to apply to the keyboard mapping. We are going to add keyboard function such as media control, including Play/Pause, Previous Track, Next Track, Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down and Print Screen to the Apple Keyboard when used in a Windows environment.

They have different in function but not necessary different “physical keys”, this means we can map those keys to it’s intended or untended functions. All the keys in blue are different, most notability Apple’s function keys, media control shortcuts and some of the pc specific keys like Print Screen (PrtSc/PrtScn) are different. As you can see from the picture highlighted below. However, there are more than just those three keys different. Those are the essential mapping you need to modify to get the same PC keyboard layouts. What we covered is basic Windows Key, Control and Alt key mapping. This method is still valid, and works for Windows 10 as well as most other versions of Windows. We’ve covered a few methods to map Apple Keyboard on Windows 7. You can have a fully function Apple Keyboard parried with Windows. This is expected, but we are here to fix this. Because Apple Keyboard has a different key layout than PC keyboard, some functions will not work out of the box.

However, little you might not know, you can use those keyboard on Windows. Apple recently announced a new set of Magic Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad for its Mac lineup.
