not making their Bolt receivers also work with Unifying devices. 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. Feedback is always welcome, especially if I have missed something.Does anyone know how to swap the ALT & WINDOWS key when I have my MX Keys for Mac connected to a Windows 10 machine? I have updated this old Windows XP-centric tip so that the setup instructions work just fine with the redesigned Start Menu of Windows 10 (and with Windows 7, for that matter). Still, this page remains one of my most popular. It’s been ten years since I shared this tip and I have not regularly used Windows since then. Now whenever you log in, your left (and only left) Ctrl and Alt keys will be switched! This file by Alan J. Just place your swap-alt-ctrl.ahk file here. To find this folder, open the Run prompt (Windows key + R) and type shell:start. We also want to make sure this file is run by AutoHotKey every time you log in. If you do not have AutoHotKey, download and install it on Windows.Īs swap-alt-ctrl.ahk on your Windows computer. I introduced this program in a previous article here on. ![]() While Windows does not let you swap modifier keys as does Mac (go to System Preferences, Keyboard, and Modifier Keys), there is a program called AutoHotKey which makes it easy. (If you are searching to swap, trade, or exchange the Cmd or Command and Ctrl or Control in Windows, as typical Mac or OS X user, this is the right place to be.) The solution is to swap the positions of the left Alt key with the left Ctrl key. If are an Apple fan but use Windows (perhaps via Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop or – like me – at work), you may find that you often hit Alt instead of Ctrl, as much of the Windows Ctrl key functionality is present in Mac’s Cmd key functionality, located it the same place as Windows Alt key.
