Typing feels great as the keys have a short pre-travel distance, and the keycaps are indented to help guide your fingers to the middle, which helps reduce typos or accidental key presses. You can reprogram some function keys to a preset list of commands through the Logitech Options software. It has white backlighting that makes it a good choice for dark rooms. However, all keys work on macOS, and you can wirelessly pair multiple devices at once over Bluetooth, while you can only pair one device at a time with the Apple keyboard. It's not a dedicated Apple keyboard like the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad, so you don't get features like Touch ID. If you prefer something cheaper, then check out the Logitech MX Keys. If that isn't an issue for you, it's a solid choice for an office keyboard to use with a Mac.

Also, while it has Bluetooth support, you can only connect to one device at a time, so you can't use it to type a document on your Mac and quickly respond to an email on your tablet. Sadly, it doesn't have any backlighting, which is disappointing for a high-end Apple product, so it's not ideal to use in a dark environment. Typing feels great as the low-profile switches are comfortable and are fairly light to press, but it takes some force to get over the tactile bump. It's Apple's latest release of their well-known Magic Keyboard, and it's available in both a full-size variant, which is the one we tested, and a 75% compact size if you prefer something smaller.Īs this is an Apple keyboard, it's fully compatible with macOS. It has the new Touch ID button at the top right, which works with M1 Mac computers so that it's easier for you to unlock your PC, but the Touch ID button doesn't work with any other Mac.

The next (and last) restart you will get all the drivers for your MacBook Pro on the Windows virtual machine, including keyboard, bluetooth, etc.If you're looking for a tried and true keyboard to use with a Mac office setup, the best wireless keyboard for Mac that we've tested is the Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad. However, it’s not the case here so you can stop the service in services.msc and just stop the start of this service in « msconfig.exe » in Windows. This tool is useful when you really used BootCamp. One more thing, when you will restart your virtual machine, you will have some BootCamp options near the clock in the Windows taskbar. If it’s not the case, you may have to manually select in the regional settings ( in Panel Control) the « French (Apple) » keyboard ( but select the language that suits to you with the (Apple) at the end). Once it’s done, restart the virtual machine and voilà, you MacBook pro keyboard now works with Windows in VMware Fusion. The installation can take a few minutes depending on your MacBook configuration.

But, for unknown reasons, I tried with Windows 8 or Windows 7 and I was not able to use all the keys of my MacBook keyboard in Windows.Īfter a few research, I found this video that solved my problem.


And it seems that this is indeed the case (for most of people I know).

I was thinking that with Windows 7, Windows 8 and the new version of VMware Fusion this problem was solved directly by VMware. Unfortunately, this one does not work in Windows 7 or Windows 8 anymore.

However, I want to be able to use all the keyboards keys in the same way in Mac OS X and Windows !Ī few years ago, on Windows XP, I used to have the following driver that perfectly worked. I perfectly understand that some characters such as brackets or parenthesis must be obtained by pressing specific combinations of keyboard keys : Ctrl, Fn, Alt, Cmd because there are not, by default, visible, on the keyboard. I don’t know why but last time I get troubles when I wanted to set up the keyboard of my MacBook in VMware Fusion.

It can be a Windows 7 or a Windows 8, it doesn’t matter but I need Windows for the few applications that I cannot install on my MacBook and for which there is no alternative. I personally need a virtual machine with Microsoft Windows. However and even if Mac OS X is also a good system. No doubt about it, MacBook is a great laptop.
