If you want the generic version that works with everyone, buy the generic part… the MX Keys. So a ‘Made for VW’ not working with a Chevy is a problem?

So unless they come out with a Unifying MX Master 3S, or a Bolt MX Keys for Mac, or they update Logi Options+ to properly support two separate receivers, I'm screwed with no solution at all.

And you can't fully use Bolt and Unifying receivers at the same time. Bolt Receivers aren't compatible with Unifying devices and Unifying receivers aren't compatible with Bolt devices. Well, why not just plug in both the unifying *and* bolt receivers? Well you can, and both connect to the devices just fine, but then only *one* of the two-whichever one was plugged in first-is recognized by Logitech Options, so any customizations you've done only work on the receiver first plugged in.

Why is that a problem? Well I just purchased the MX Master 3S, which is Bolt-only, but I have the aforementioned MX Keys for Mac which doesn't have a Bolt-version, even in the business editions (since they don't make a 'business edition' of the Mac version one.) Also, I can't use Bluetooth since I use a KVM so I need USB. 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.

Does anyone know how to swap the ALT & WINDOWS key when I have my MX Keys for Mac connected to a Windows 10 machine?
