![]() ![]() I will say one thing that Logi screwed the pooch on. You can remap the left and right keys to completely separate things. This lets you (re)assign individual keys to whatever you want. Note, this is *not* the same thing as flipping them in the Keyboard settings on Control Panel. Look up `hidutil` and you can write a simple shell script that will flip them for you (or any other key for that matter), no third-party software needed. ![]() Ironically, if you're on a Mac, you don't even need that software as it's built-in. ![]() The standard MX Keys barfs all over the keys to the right of the spacebar which I LOATHE and have used key-remapping software to address that. I have both the regular MX Keys and the MX Keys for Mac (two of each actually) and *greatly* prefer the latter as it properly preserves the true layout of a Mac keyboard. You can't fault a 'for Mac' product for not supporting something that's non-mac!Īnd as for why the 'For Mac' version exists in the first place. "FOR MAC!" You by definition are using this in a multi-environment setting, which is precisely why you should have the standard MX Keys. Also, why would the 'Mac only' version allow you to switch to a different platform? How is that 'awful' as you said? It's right in the title. The standard MX Keys are everywhere online (just check Amazon.) I actually find it more difficult to find the Mac-specific version. At first I though it did not work but it looks like it requires a couple seconds after switch to another computer to take an effect. UPD 2: Ok, looks like auto-os-switch does work if you install Logitech Options software on both computers, go to More Settings and set "Always keep the keyboard in Mac layout" ("Always keep the keyboard in Windows layout" on Windows). can it be automated with the Logitech or any other software? Now new question - switching like this every time is very annoying. UPD: OK, I've found the solution, I think, it is FN + O for macOS and FN + P for Windows (press for 3 seconds). It is quite frustrating that this product work like this given that it costs $130. I also (like u/real_Zark_Muckerberg) tried to press FN + U for 3 seconds like you've suggested but it did not work. I know I could swap them in mac's keyboard settings but I do not want to do that because I do not want to mess up my other keyboards. I am having the same issue, my "MX Keys for Business" that I connected to my Mac treats Opt as Command and Command as Opt. I also read countless related topics but nothing worked/helped. Trying SharpKeys did also not help because it does not recognize the OPTIONS key when I press it. I also installed this Logitech Options software package but this doesn't bring any useful option for swapping keys either. I tried FN + P (hold 3 seconds) but this doesn't do anything for me. There are a few other features that are absent, including Insert, Page Up, Page Down, Number Lock and others, but these can be achieved through the onscreen keyboard present in Windows.Does anyone know how to swap the ALT & WINDOWS key when I have my MX Keys for Mac connected to a Windows 10 machine? Mac keyboards don’t have these and there’s currently no shortcut combination to activate it. The one main omission is the Menu or Applications key on Windows that allows you to launch contextual windows (basically the same as right-clicking the mouse). Use Snipping Tool to capture screenshots guide. For more details on how to use it, read Microsoft’s To find this, open the Windows Start Menu and type snipping tool, then select it from the results that appear. You won’t find a Print Scr button on a Mac keyboard, so if you want toĬapture what’s on your display then you’ll need to use the Windows Snipping Tool. To get the Windows version of Delete, press and hold the control or ctrl key and press D or hold the fn ( function) key down while pressing Delete. It’s a similar situation for Delete and Backspace, with Macs only having a Delete button on the smaller keyboards, although this does act like a Backspace as it deletes the character to the left of the cursor. ![]()
