Hi

I have a gaming PC and my iMac om same desk, each with their own mouse and keyboard.

Is there any wireless keyboards out there, that I can use for both. A keyboard with both mac and windows keys?

Thanks.
 
I haven't purchased it yet, but the Logitech MX keys works with both, is wireless and backlit , and can switch between devices Web search that to find out more. I wish I could confirm how well it works, but I can't until I get mine.

Also , the Logitech MX master mouse can switch between multiple devices as well.

I have the MX Keys on one of my work PCs. The keyboard is quite nice. I'm not sure if it's a rubber/silicone dome or a scissor switch, but it's similar to the standard Apple keyboards in terms of feel. It's not really a gaming keyboard, but it'll work nicely on Mac & PC -- has both Command and Windows keys and can switch between three different devices.

I'm not sure of any true "gaming" keyboards (i.e., mechanical backlit RGB) that also have a Command labeled key.

While admittedly I am definitely not a gamer, you should look into the Keychron keyboards.

They have various models, all of which can be used both wired and wirelessly via Bluetooth. They have a variety of Gateron switch options and some of the models have optical switch options as well.

Their keyboards ship configured with Mac keycaps; Keychron includes Windows replacement keycaps for the handful of keys that need it (Windows, alt, Cortana) and a keycap replacement tool. There are two physical switches: A.) Bluetooth-OFF-Cable and B.) Windows/Android-Mac.

One can switch between three different Bluetooth pairings via a couple of keystrokes.

I have two of their Keychron K1 keyboards and when they release it, I will likely buy their upcoming K8 keyboard. These are the best keyboards I've used since the mid-Nineties era SGI keyboard (ALPS mechanical switches) and the IBM Selectric typewriter (the gold standard of all electric keyboards) way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

While I bought the Keychron models with white backlight, they also sell RGB backlit keyboards with all of the seizure-inducing disco effects. o_O

Sorry I do not know if they ship to Denmark.

Thanks a lot I bought it right away and it works perfectly. A note - I bought the Logitech G603 mouse, because it's better for gaming. This mouse can also switch between wireless and bluetooth with a button press.

I'm glad it worked out for you. It got mine along with a MX Master 2S , I love the feel of the keys and the ability to switch between 3 computers pretty easily. I'm thinking about switching the mouse to MX Master 3 only to get the USB-C port so I can charge both devices with the same cable.
