Apple Keyboard A1314 Drivers
- Ive tried those Drivers. Cant seem to get them working, Im wondering if its because I have the Apple Magic Mouse 2 & Apple Keyboard 2. Another strange thing is if the Bluetooth Driver isn't installed the Apple Mouse and keyboard works but the Keyboard layout doesn't work neither does the Scrolling.
- On August 7, 2007, Apple released a redesigned model of the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Like the wired Apple Keyboard, the new model is thinner than its predecessors and has an aluminum enclosure. Another addition is the new functions added to the function keys, such as media controls and Dashboard control.

Apple Keyboard (model A1314 and A1644) Driver for Windows 10.
WinAppleKey enables the use of the Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1314) and the Apple Magic Keyboard (A1644)under a native 64-bit Windows 10 installation. No other drivers (such as Apple's Bootcamp) are needed.
This model of the Apple keyboard also has two down-stream USB 2.0 ports, one at each end of the keyboard (like M2452 and M7803). This model was renamed as the 'Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad' after the release of the A1242 model in March 2009. This model was discontinued on 5 June 2017 and was the last wired keyboard produced by Apple.
Specifically:
- Swaps the Fn-Ctrl keys to align with standard Windows keyboard layouts (not supported by Apple's Bootcamp driver).
- Maps the missing Windows keys such as the Del, Insert, Print Screen, Pause/Break, etc.
- Respects all the small details such as typematic properties of keys, something which was not possible with the older WinA1314 driver.
- Includes an installer that automates the task of properly and cleanly installing or uninstalling the driver.
Only 64-bit versions of Windows 10 are currently supported. You may also be able to install the driver on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 (64-bit) but this has not been tested.
Technical Details
WinAppleKey is fully implemented as a HIDCLASS LowerFilter WDM kernel mode driver.
Sitting inbetween HIDCLASS and the bluetooth HID Transport driver; allows the interpretation of the input data before they reach HIDCLASS and get split out into TLC interfaces as HID Hot Buttons or as KBDClass (normal keys) input. This allows full and proper re-mapping of all of the keys (incl. Fn, Eject), by also respecting typematic properties. The older WinA1314 driver was not capable of that as it was implemented using Francisco Lopes's Interception driver, which is an UpperLevel filter KBDClass class driver. As a completely kernel-mode based implementation, it is also more secure than WinA1314 as it does not expose any keyboard input data to user mode. It also only attaches to the targeted keyboard device leaving the rest of your keyboard devices unaffected.
Installation
Apple Keyboard A1314 Drivers Downloads
Due to the fact that the driver is signed with a self-signed test certificate, Windows will not allow the installation unless it is running in TESTSIGNING mode.
Please make sure that you understand all the potential implications of running your system in TESTSIGNING mode as well as the fact that WinAppleKey is free software that you are willing to build and/or use completely at your own risk.
To set Windows in TESTSIGNING mode issue the following command in an Administrative command prompt and then reboot. Note that switching to TESTSIGNING mode will fail unless Secure Boot is off in your BIOS settings.
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
You can then run the latest Setup.msi installer release from releases.
To uninstall, run the uninstaller from the Control PanelPrograms and then manually revert TESTSIGNING mode by issuing the following command (in an Administrative command prompt):
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Key Mapppings
WinAppleKey creates the following key mappings:
| Input Physical Key(s) | Output Logical Key |
|---|---|
| Ctrl | Fn |
| Fn | Left Ctrl |
| Eject | Delete |

| Input Logical Key(s) | Output Logical Key |
|---|---|
| Fn + [F1-F12] | [F13-F24] |
