In this video I show how to connect and configure Apple keyboards to be used on Windows computers. I believe all keyboards including A1255, A1314, A1644, A2450 etc. This tutorial will allow you to use the Fn and all the F keys normally.

Thank you for the video. I was not able to get it to work following your exact instructions, but you leaded me to the solution. Here's what I did and my config. Using Apple Magic Keyboard A1644 on Windows 10 Using Brigadier I downloaded the model MacBookPro16,3 (the latest with Intel CPU) Open a command prompt with admin cd BootCamp/Drivers/Apple run BootCamp.msi and install the drivers Keyboard now works with no additional steps needed. FN key and all! WOOOO!

did you found a solution?

@jpeg1986 4 месяца назад

I had a similar situation when using the latest version of 7zip (which I had manually installed). Using the one from the video (22.01) got me the same files as in the video.

Can I set f1,f2... as the main keys on auch keyboards?

@stanleychen3298 6 месяцев назад

Yes, please watch the last part of the video where I modify the registry settings.

@victorhu7280 8 месяцев назад

Your video is great! Except you skipped the part of how and what to download in github, I was confused for a very long time

@stanleychen3298 6 месяцев назад

Oops sorry. Simply download the latest release on the right hand side, unzip it and you're good to go!

Did you install 7-zip before excecuting Brigadier?

@ternoviikust8480 2 месяца назад

@@stanleychen3298 I have the same problem and I installed 7-zip before excecuting Brigadier. What can you suggest to do? Mb it's because I have a2450 model?

@lavredisgoume 2 месяца назад

@@ternoviikust8480 I had 7-Zip already installed for years. Brigadier is trying to use it on this path: "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe", so move its installation there (since you probably have it elsewhere, I had it on the D: drive) and you will be fine.

After running the brigadier, error: "Cannot open the file as archive"

@stanleychen3298 6 месяцев назад

Perhaps 7-zip is not installed. Or maybe try downloading another driver version?

@@stanleychen3298 I've downloaded the 7zip. Turns out the newer version of 7zip fails to open it. Downgrading to 2019 version helps! Thank you for the video

@@AllSWT Sounds like the Apple Drivers aren’t installed. Did you uninstall other related drivers as mentioned in the video? Because during my own testing conflicting drivers will make the keyboard flat out not work
