Testing conducted by Apple in September 2015 using preproduction Magic Keyboard devices, firmware and software with shipping iMac systems. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while engaging the device on a paired iMac using automated equipment. Battery life depends on device settings, usage and other factors. I can't get this to work on Windows 10 (even using the 5.1.5640 drivers). I'm even using the recommended version of the drivers as per this comments. Various other versions of the Apple Windows 64-bit drivers (none of them make a difference) Using Boot Camp on Windows (doesn't do anything) using uawks (doesn't seem to have been updated since 2008). The driver situation with Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboards and Windows 10 is horrible, even with the latest BootCamp drivers. Fortunately, a workaround is available, if you're patient. Pair keyboard once.
WinAppleKey enables the use of the Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1314) and the Apple Magic Keyboard (A1644)under a native 64-bit Windows 10 installation. No other drivers (such as Apple's Bootcamp) are needed.
- When paring through the Windows Settings window, it asks you a code that you don't know. If you pair the keyboard through the Control Panel, It has the option to 'Try entering passcode on it' (just like Pete said). I am using Windows 10 1909 in a Lenovo P53 and connecting to Apple Wireless keyboard model A1314 – joaogoncalves Mar 24 at 19:55.
- In order to get the keyboard working I just needed AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe and BootCamp.msi from BootCamp/Drivers/Apple. Unless you want to install a whole load of other drivers, copy just these two files to a folder on a drive that will be available in Windows. In Windows, create a restore point (optional).
Specifically:
- Swaps the Fn-Ctrl keys to align with standard Windows keyboard layouts (not supported by Apple's Bootcamp driver).
- Maps the missing Windows keys such as the Del, Insert, Print Screen, Pause/Break, etc.
- Respects all the small details such as typematic properties of keys, something which was not possible with the older WinA1314 driver.
- Includes an installer that automates the task of properly and cleanly installing or uninstalling the driver.
Only 64-bit versions of Windows 10 are currently supported. You may also be able to install the driver on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 (64-bit) but this has not been tested.
Technical Details
WinAppleKey is fully implemented as a HIDCLASS LowerFilter WDM kernel mode driver.
Sitting inbetween HIDCLASS and the bluetooth HID Transport driver; allows the interpretation of the input data before they reach HIDCLASS and get split out into TLC interfaces as HID Hot Buttons or as KBDClass (normal keys) input. This allows full and proper re-mapping of all of the keys (incl. Fn, Eject), by also respecting typematic properties. The older WinA1314 driver was not capable of that as it was implemented using Francisco Lopes's Interception driver, which is an UpperLevel filter KBDClass class driver. As a completely kernel-mode based implementation, it is also more secure than WinA1314 as it does not expose any keyboard input data to user mode. It also only attaches to the targeted keyboard device leaving the rest of your keyboard devices unaffected.
Installation
Due to the fact that the driver is signed with a self-signed test certificate, Windows will not allow the installation unless it is running in TESTSIGNING mode.
Please make sure that you understand all the potential implications of running your system in TESTSIGNING mode as well as the fact that WinAppleKey is free software that you are willing to build and/or use completely at your own risk.
To set Windows in TESTSIGNING mode issue the following command in an Administrative command prompt and then reboot. Note that switching to TESTSIGNING mode will fail unless Secure Boot is off in your BIOS settings.

You can then run the latest Setup.msi installer release from releases.
To uninstall, run the uninstaller from the Control PanelPrograms and then manually revert TESTSIGNING mode by issuing the following command (in an Administrative command prompt):
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Key Mapppings
WinAppleKey creates the following key mappings:
| Input Physical Key(s) | Output Logical Key |
|---|---|
| Ctrl | Fn |
| Fn | Left Ctrl |
| Eject | Delete |
And then:
| Input Logical Key(s) | Output Logical Key |
|---|---|
| Fn + [F1-F12] | [F13-F24] |
| Fn + Left Ctrl | Right Ctrl |
| Fn + Enter | Insert |
| Fn + P | Print Screen |
| Fn + S | Scroll Lock |
| Fn + B | Pause/Break |
| Fn + Up | Page Up |
| Fn + Down | Page Down |
| Fn + Left | Home |
| Fn + Right | End |
Driver Settings
You can use regedit.exe to optionally modify certain driver settings.
To enable/disable the Alt-Cmd key swapping edit the DWORD key value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWinAppleKeySwapAltCmd. The default value is 0 (off).
To enable/disable the Fn-Ctrl key swapping edit the DWORD key value:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesWinAppleKeySwapFnCtrl. The default value is 1 (on).

After changing any of these values, you will need to disconnect/connect your associated Apple keyboard(s) to trigger a driver reload, or alternatively reboot your machine.
