Windows keyboard layouts for Apple Keyboards.

What is this?¶ ↑

This remaps shift+key, option+key, and shift+option+key to match what you’d expect if you’re used to OSX.

How do I use it?¶ ↑

• Click the ‘Download’ link at the top

• Download the .zip package for your keyboard

• Run setup.exe inside there

It’s now installed! To actually use it, select it from the language bar, if you have it; otherwise:

• Open Control Panel

• Click ‘Change keyboards or other input methods’, under ‘Clock, Language, and Region’

• Click ‘Change keyboards’

• Change ‘Default input language’

• Click ‘OK’ a few times.

What about Right-Option aka Right-Alt aka AltGr?¶ ↑

Sorry, this can’t be fixed with just a keyboard layout. Your options (pun intended) are:

• Use Ctrl-Alt instead

• Remap the right option key to AltGr via KeyTweak

I don’t trust your zip file, or I want to edit it. How do I build it?¶ ↑

Use The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.

An exe, 3 windows installer packages, and 4 dlls?!¶ ↑

Yes, that’s what Microsoft’s tool builds.
