Powertoys -> Keyboard Manager -> Magic Keyboard with Touch ID macOS keys mapping | magic utilities alternative

What is this?

Map media keys of your Magic Keyboard with Touch ID from Apple on Windows. You can see the mapped keys below. It's at the moment not perfect, but maybe I'll improve it in the near future.

Reason for this?

I own a Macbook where I use the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID because it's very comfortable to me. I also own a Gaming PC. And because I don't want to use multiple keyboards I use for both the Apple one. But soon I noticed that the media keys of the Apple keyboard don't work on Windows 11. So I installed the Windows Power Tools and mapped the keys myself.
