Dear mr/mrs,

Recently I bought the relatively new magic keyboard with numeric keypad (model A1843). I use both Mac OSX and windows 10 on Bootcamp 6.0 on macbook pro 15' (early or mid 2015 model). The integrated keyboard in the macbook works fine, both on mac osx and on bootcamp. I can use all the functions including volume and brightness etc. The new magic keyboard works fine under OSX, but in windows 10, in bootcamp 6 I have two problems:

Item 5 Apple Magic (MQ052LL/A) A1843 Bluetooth Keyboard w/ Numeric Pad - Silver 5 -Apple Magic (MQ052LL/A) A1843 Bluetooth Keyboard w/ Numeric Pad - Silver.

1. Function keys are only working in the 'windows 10' way, eg F5=refresh etc. I cannot use them in the apple way, the way the integrated keyboard works. I have tried the Fn setting in bootcamp (toggling the use) and I have tried the keyboard itself both with option key and with the Fn key (right under F13). It just doesn't work

2. I cannot get the keyboard layout right. Main problem (so far) is that some keys are not working correct. EG, key just under esc shows ± (with shift) and § (normal) but when I type I get ~ (with shift) and ` (normal).

This is very weird because I thought I knew how this works. The actual layout of the bought keyboard is 'dutch' I can see that also on my bill and I have selected that as an 'input method' (apple version) see below. I also tried a variety of different input methodes (US, US international, apple versions and not apple versions).

The weird thing is that my integrated keyboard is working perfectly fine. The same key as described above works as it should on the integrated keyboard, as are the function keys.

I think the problems are related and my guess is that the 2nd keyboard is somehow not connected to the apple driver correctly (or something like that).

So I also have checked my device manager and see the following devices

I deleted all three of them, reinstalled bootcamp drivers with the latest versions and tried several other things. But so far no luck. Does anyone have suggestions? I want to avoid a clean install of windows if possible, maybe someone knows how to debug or maybe even check registry or something.

Hope to hear from you soon,
