The keyboard automatically detects the operating system on the currently selected device and remaps keys to provide functions and shortcuts where you expect them to be.

For Mac OS X and iOS: hold down fn + I for 3 seconds.

For Windows, Android, and Chrome OS: hold down fn + P for 3 seconds.

Split keys

Modifier keys on either side of the space bar display two sets of labels separated by split lines. The label above the split line shows the modifier sent to a Windows, Android, or Chrome device. The label below the split line shows the modifier sent to an Apple Macintosh, iPhone, or iPad. The keyboard automatically uses modifiers associated with the currently selected device.
