The other day my main PC keyboard ran out of power, and I had no replaceable batteries.
I decided that I could temporarily connect my Mac keyboard to my Windows PC.
What surprised me was that it was much easier than I expected.

Let me tell you about it in detail and in the order below.
How to connect Mac Magic Keyboard to Windows 11 PC
Congratulations!
You have successfully connected your Mac Magic Keyboard to your Windows 11 PC.
It turns out that it is possible.
you’re able to find a charging port on your Magic Keyboard.
In my case, its a Lightning, but I know there are some Magic Keyboards with USB-C connectors.
You only need to connect one wire end to your keyboard and the other to your PC.
Windows automatically implement the necessary drivers and connect your keyboard to the system.
After that, it’s possible for you to immediately start using your Magic Keyboard on your Windows PC.
How do the keys on the Magic Keyboard work for the keys in Windows?
However, there are a few key differences in the layout and functionality of certain keys.
To fix this problem, it’s possible for you to restart Bluetooth on your rig.
Wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
This may help establish a stable connection and eliminate keyboard lag.
power cycle your keyboard
Sometimes keyboard lag can be due to a problem with the keyboard itself.
To fix this problem, disconnect your Magic Keyboard from your rig and wait a few seconds.
Then reconnect the keyboard to your rig.
Restarting the keyboard can help fix possible technical problems and restore the keyboard to normal functioning.
Put the keyboard on charge
Magic Keyboard keyboard lag can also be related to low battery power.
Ensure the keyboard is fully charged or plug it into a power source for proper operation.
Put the keyboard on charge and give it enough time to charge fully.
This may help solve the latency problem.
verify the Magic Keyboard is not connected to another gadget.
If it is connected, disconnect it from it.
When the keyboard is connected to only one machine, it can help eliminate conflicts and improve performance.
you should disconnect all other Bluetooth devices from the computer temporarily.
This can help establish a stable connection between the computer and the keyboard, eliminating possible external interference.
You should try them one at a time until you find one that helps.
