Connect Microsoft Surface Keyboard To Mac

I know the Microsoft Surface Keyboard isn't compatible with the lastest Mac OS. But was wondering if anyone has found workarounds to some of these problems. 1) It's not recognized as a keyboard but a bluetooth device. And I have to re-pair the keyboard everytime after long idle period or computer restarts.

  • The Microsoft Surface tablets, paired with the Microsoft Type Cover keyboard, is a value for money machine for college-goers on a tight budget.

  • Create emails and documents with this Microsoft Surface keyboard. The Bluetooth capability lets you connect wirelessly to your computer within a 50-foot range for greater movement, and the optimized feedback lets you depress the keys silently so you won’t disturb others.
  • Connect your keyboard Press and hold the pair button on the bottom of the keyboard for 5 seconds, until the LED starts to flash. On your Windows 10 PC, select Connect if a notification appears for your keyboard, then wait for it to get set up. Don’t see the notification?

While I was fixing my Razer Blackwidow keyboard, I want to keep my PC operating, so I tried to connect the Apple Wireless Keyboard to my Windows 10 PC. Here’s how I did it.

Latest Version of Windows 10

In Windows 10 Pro version 2004, adding Bluetooth devices, including Apple’s is much easier.

  1. Go to Bluetooth and Other Devices Settings by Navigate it from Start > Type in Bluetooth, and select the Bluetooth and Other Devices Settings.
  2. Turn on the keyboard and you will see the indicator flashing.
  3. Click on “Add Bluetooth or Other Device”.
  4. Under “Add a Device” window, select “Bluetooth”.
  5. Your device will be listed in the next screen.
  6. Select it, and Add the PIN by typing it from your Apple Keyboard and Press Enter.
  7. Done.

I’ve made a short video to make it easier to understand the steps

  • In Windows 10’s bluetooth settings (can be found in system tray), click on the icon and then click “Add Bluetooth Device”.
  • Then, on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, hold down Command + W, while Windows is searching for bluetooth devices.
