My company is very concerned about security, which means that even the Windows we use is so heavily modified it makes any Arch-user jealous. Nevertheless we have the possibility to work from home. I have a full Apple setup for myself, even the TobenOne UDS033 dock to use 2 external monitors with my MacBook Air M1 (works like a charm btw). But here is the problem: the laptop has no Bluetooth. No Bluetooth mouse, no Bluetooth keyboard, nothing. The mouse is no problem since I use my trusty wired gaming mouse from 2014. My problem is the keyboard. I have not found a single one that is primarily for Mac and also happens to work on Windows, yet works wired as well.

I have read that Apple‘s Magic Keyboard works wired on Windows, can anyone confirm this? The rest of the internet is not very helpful.

    Checkout Keychron’s k series. They’re both wireless and wired as well as both Mac and windows, just flip two small switches on the side to change the behavior. I have a k2 myself, but you may prefer the k4 which is a larger layout. It’s basically the perfect keyboard for supporting what you’re talking about

      I’d go Nuphy Air (available in a few different sizes) rather than Keychron.

      I love my Keychrons (own four of them…) but Nuphy is quite a bit better in several small ways, from nicer keycaps to feet that sit perfectly on top of a MacBook Air keyboard (if you buy a small Nuphy) to lovely cary cases that double as a tablet/phone stand.
