If like me, you swap between Mac and PC you’ll have been irritated by everso slightly different keyboard layouts. So here’s my Apple Extended UK Keyboard Layout for Windows Installer.
There is a way, however, to find and type the Apple symbol on a Windows machine. Here’s how to do that. On a Windows machine, press the Windows and R keys. Or using the Control+V keyboard. The right windows key will then still open the Windows menu and do all the Windows-Key stuff that it should do, such as Windows-L for Lock screen/Switch User: If you want other keyboards than Apple UK, download the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to tweak your layout. To find the keyboard in Windows 10, roll your cursor over to the lower right side of the screen and right-click on the taskbar. Then, click on Show Touch Keyboard Button.
When I wrote it I was using one of these:
But since the Apple full-size layout hasn’t actually changed since then, I still use it for my aluminium keyboard. Ctags for mac.

Swapping between Mac and Windows
In addition – even if using a PC keyboard – a Mac-PC swapper will undoubtedly suffer repeated Cmd and Ctrl shortcut confusion: You want to type Cmd-X for cut and suddenly the Win-X menu comes up instead.
My preferred solution for this is an AutoHotkey script, partly because after using Autohotkey for a few weeks I realised it was an utterly brilliant, all-singing, all-dancing customise-your-Windows-in-every-way tool, with an all-but-zero footprint.
My script is https://gist.github.com/chrisfcarroll/dddf32fea1f29e75f564, which also has shortcut keys for arranging windows on a big screen.

The other reason I use autohotkey is that it enables a cherry-picking approach to swapping or duplicating Cmd-key/Ctrl-key shortcuts, which I find works much much better than doing a straight Cmd<=>Ctrl key swap. I got this approach from the keyboard layout used by Parallels on the Mac, which simply duplicated common shortcuts such as Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V to the Cmd-key. If you swap regularly between Mac & PC, this approach works well.
Inverting Mouse Scroll Direction
Since about the time that iPhone launched, OS X scroll direction, both mouse and keyboard, has used the metaphor of “push the document up to move it up the window” rather than the previous “push the scroll bar up to move the document down the window.” Windows has stayed firmly on the scrollbar metaphor.
Oddly enough, Microsoft mice come with a Windows driver that let you reverse scroll direction via the UI. For other mice, you can FlipFlopScrollWheel. Oddly, this is not per-user but per mouse/usb port combination, which means if you plug the same mouse into a different port it’s scrolls in the opposite direction.

Back to the Keyboard
If you do want a more complete Cmd<=>Ctrl key swap, then you do it with Randy’sSharpKeys.
Warning! You can’t swap keys around with it so do just this: map Left-Windows key to Left-Control. The right windows key will then still open the Windows menu and do all the Windows-Key stuff that it should do, such as Windows-L for Lock screen/Switch User:
