Question: Support for wired Apple Magic Keyboard? #28

Closed GhostInTheSteiner closed 1 year ago

GhostInTheSteiner commented 1 year ago

I'm currently considering to use your guide to use an Apple Magic Keyboard on Windows. I could mostly solve mapping problems with autohotkey so far, but for RDP sessions or virtual machines these autohotkey scripts won't work for obvious reasons.

My plan would be to buy the v1 board from JLCPCB and then use it on a Windows based OS.

I'm somewhat worried because the Magic Keyboard is custom tailored for Mac computers, although it works on Windows just fine with some swapped buttons like Alt and Win.

Are your boards are compatible with the Magic Keyboard? Or is there something I should take into consideration before ordering the boards?

I tried building it today (both the single Pico and dual Pico variants) and the Magic Keyboard A1843 does not work :(

I'll be looking into the reasons why, and trying to find a solution.

The problem is in enumeration in Pico-PIO-USB, so I've raised an issue with that project.

Trying with the host_cdc_msc_hid example, I had some success!

 TinyUSB Host CDC MSC HID Example
HID device address = 1, instance = 0 is mounted
HID Interface Protocol = None
HID has 2 reports 
HID device address = 1, instance = 1 is mounted
HID Interface Protocol = Keyboard
A device with address 1 is mounted

Typing on the keyboard then emits serial packets.

The CAPS lock LED took a bit more work, but I got that working thanks to https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb/discussions/1191
