Getting started
Set up your keys in three steps.
The same keyboard controls work over Bluetooth and a USB data cable on supported models.
- Connect your Magic Keyboard. Pair it with your PC or plug it in with a USB data cable. Follow the connection guide if you need a hand.
- Install Tenon. Download the Windows installer and run it. No account is needed for the 30-day Pro trial.
- Open Magic Keyboard in Tenon. Choose your Function row settings and turn on “Use ⌘ for shortcuts” if you want Command to act as Control. Reconnect the keyboard after changing its settings.
Keyboard controls are a Pro feature. See what is included with Tenon. For brightness-key behavior and setup help, use the function-key troubleshooting guide.
