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.

How to set up current Apple wireless devices
Follow these steps to set up your Magic Mouse 2, Magic Keyboard, Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, or Magic Trackpad 2:
- Connect a Lightning to USB Cable1 or a USB-C to Lightning Cable to the Lightning port on the device2 and connect the other end of the cable to your Mac.
- Make sure that the device's power switch is in the ON position. (Green is visible under the switch when the device is on.)
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth to open the Bluetooth preferences window. When the device pairs with your Mac, it appears in the list of devices.
- Check the Bluetooth preferences window to see your device's charge level. When the device is charged, unplug it for wireless use.
1. If your Bluetooth device came with an iMac, a Lightning to USB cable was also included in the box.
2. Magic Mouse 2 can't be used while connected to the cable.
How to set up earlier Apple wireless devices
If you're not sure which device you have, you can learn how to identify your Apple wireless mouse, keyboard, or trackpad.
Then use a wired mouse or trackpad — or the built-in trackpad if you're using a Mac notebook — and follow these steps to set up your earlier Apple wireless devices (such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad):
- Turn on your device.
- Wait until your device's LED starts blinking, which means that it's in Discoverable Mode. (If the LED is on but not blinking, your device is already paired with another host. To unpair it, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. Hover the pointer over the device you want to remove, then click the button that appears next to the device's name. Turn the device off, then start again at step 1.)
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
- Wait while your Mac searches for your device. When your device appears in Bluetooth preferences, click Pair1.
1. Apple Wireless Keyboard requires the passcode that appears on your Mac. Enter the 8-digit passcode on the keyboard, then press Return. Earlier models of Apple Wireless Mouse or Apple Magic Trackpad will connect automatically or show a dialog. If you see a dialog, click Pair or press Return.

tl;dr:
- Download and extract the Apple Boot Camp drivers I repackaged: BootCamp-061-51481.zip
- Right-click
BootCamp/Drivers/Apple/AppleKeyboardMagic2/Keymagic2.inf(orBootCamp/Drivers/Apple/AppleKeyboard/Keymagic64.infor appropriate driver) and then 'Install'. - Unplug and re-plugin your keyboard.
- If you want to reverse the fn key behavior, change
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ServicesKeyMagicOSXFnBehaviorandHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesKeyMagicOSXFnBehaviorfrom01to00. Restart for registry changes to take effect.
If those drivers don't work, try getting latest from the source:
- Download latest exe from Brigadier release page.
- Find the latest or a current Mac model (ex:
MacBookPro16,3). - Run
brigadier.exe -m MacBookPro16,3to download Apple Boot Camp drivers.
If you can't or don't want to use Brigadier, see the bottom of this post.
Note: I have not tested this over Bluetooth. I keep my keyboard connected via the supplied lightning to USB cable.
I recently acquired an Apple Magic Keyboard and wanted to use it on my PC. It worked when I plugged it in but I could not access any of the media keys/fn keys (ex: volume up and down). This is because Windows was using the default keyboard drivers.
When I first started looking for solutions I found hacky, unsigned drivers and key mappers. These were not ideal.
Apple actually does supply Windows drivers for Apple Keyboards, Apple Magic Keyboards, and apparently other Apple Mouse and Trackpad devices. Apple created these for Boot Camp (a program that allows you to run Windows in a virtual machine in OSX). However, there is not an easy way to access them. Normally, Apple wants you to download and install a large suite of software and drivers meant for Boot Camp which will do all kinds of nasty things to your PC. Thankfully, the keyboard and other drivers can be isolated and installed independently.
Download Boot Camp Drivers
If you want to skip this section, you can download the drivers I extracted from the bellow process and see if they work for you: BootCamp-061-51481.zip
Apple Keyboard Ii
Because we are not going through Boot Camp, the first challenge is getting access to the Boot Camp drivers. The easiest way to do so is to use the Brigadier program. This automatically locates the URL for a given Mac model and downloads and extracts the appropriate Boot Camp drivers. If you can't or don't want to use this program, see the bottom of this post.
Download the latest exe from the releases page and run it like so:
MacBookPro16,3 is the model of the latest MacBook Pro (at the time of writing) which I got from this page. I used this model because I wanted to ensure I got the latest drivers.
This will create a folder next to brigadier.exe named something like BootCamp-061-51481. The numbers in the name will be whatever version of Boot Camp drivers were downloaded.
Install Drivers
Navigate to BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyboardMagic2 for Apple Magic Keyboard drivers. I have not tested this, but I assume you would use BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyboard for other Apple Keyboards. Or, $WinPEDriver$AppleMultiTouchTrackPadPro for Apple Magic Trackpad 2, etc. I don't think there is any harm in installing more drivers than you need as only the appropriate ones will be used, but that is also untested.
Right-click Keymagic2.inf (or whichever .inf file exists for your driver) and then 'Install' to install the driver.
After installation is complete, unplug and re-plugin your keyboard. If everything worked, you should be able to use the Volume Up/F12 (without holding the fn key) and the Volume will change. To debug, check in device manager; 'Apple Keyboard' should be listed under 'Human Interface Devices'.
Change fn Key Behavior
By default, when the fn key is not held, the media keys will be activated. When the fn keys is held the F1-12 keys will be activated.
To reverse the fn key behavior, open RegEdit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ServicesKeyMagic and update OSXFnBehavior key from 01 to 00 (in the binary editor this will update from 00000000 01 . to 00000000 00 .).
Not sure if this is necessary, but also navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesKeyMagic and make sure the OSXFnBehavior key has the same value.
Restart your PC for the registry changes to take effect.
Extra Drivers
Poking around in the Boot Camp package, I noticed several other drivers of note. BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyboardInternalUSB may be related to the USB ports on Apple keyboards. There are also some drivers that looked to be related to Apple Mice, Trackpads, Cameras, Displays, etc:
- BootCampDriversAppleAppleCamera
- BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyboard
- BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyboardInternalUSB
- BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyboardMagic2
- BootCampDriversAppleAppleKeyManager
- $WinPEDriver$AppleMultiTouchTrackPad
- $WinPEDriver$AppleMultiTouchTrackPadPro
- $WinPEDriver$AppleWirelessMouse
- $WinPEDriver$AppleWirelessTrackpad
Apple Keyboard 2011
This is not a full list of drivers. Just the ones I found interesting. I have not tested any of these. Again. I don't think there is any harm in installing more drivers than you need as only the appropriate ones will be used, but that is also untested.
Brigadier Alternative
If you can't or don't want to use Brigadier, you can manually find, download, and extract the Boot Camp drivers. Brigadier uses this XML file (at the time of writing, subject to change) to locate the correct package. You can do this manually by downloading the XML file, opening it with a text editor, and searching for the BootCampESD.pkg URL with the latest PostDate. Downlad the .pkg file and extract the contents using 7-Zip, WinZip, WinRAR, or any other utility capable of unpacking .pkg and .dmg files:
- Extract
Payload~fromBootCampESD.pkg - Extract
.LibraryApplication SupportBootCampWindowsSupport.dmgfromPayload~(this file is actually an archive). - Extract the contents of
WindowsSupport.dmg
Apple Wireless Magic Keyboard 2
Here are the 7-Zip commands used to accomplish the above:
