I recently bought an Apple magic keyboard with numeric pad to use with my computer, after reading threads online that you can connect it via Bluetooth to a Windows PC. When I search to add a new Bluetooth device, my PC doesn't find the keyboard. I tested the keyboard with my MacBook Pro where I am able to use it fine. The Apple Wireless Keyboard is a wireless keyboard built for Macintosh computers and compatible with iOS devices. It interacts over Bluetooth wireless technology and unlike its wired version, it has no USB connectors or ports. Both generations have low-power features when not in use. It was discontinued on October 13, 2015, and was succeeded by the new Magic Keyboard. I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows 10 PC. I would like to be able to work with Apple magic 2 mouse and Magic (Gry Space) wireless keyboard on the PC using Windows 10. I have download and install Bootcamp drivers for Windows, but regretfully have been unsucessfull to apply Apple drivers to these Bluetooth devices unders Windos 10. Apple's USB keyboards are mostly compatible with Windows computers, and can be remapped; the Command key works as the Windows key, the ⌥ Option key as the Alt key, the Help key as the Insert key, and the Clear key as the Num Lock key. On the slightly older all-white models, the volume keys function as they would on a Macintosh, and the eject.

Windows keyboard layouts map the physical keys of the keyboard to the actual character (or action). While keyboard layouts are well defined for different languages, Apple keyboards are not fully compatible with Windows.
