The combination of Windows OS and Apple keyboard layout isn’t always that good. This is a good start but only takes me half the way. Since I really appreciate the hardware in the Apple keyboard I have chosen to also use a dedicated Apple USB keyboard even for my physical Windows computer to keep the differences to a minimum.
