• Select the .dmg disk image / .pkg installation package.
• Windows:
• Select the .zip compressed package / .exe installation package / .msi installation package.
• General:
• Select the .jar package (the computer needs to have JRE configured)

• Download the corresponding file.

• Linux and macOS need to be installed before running. Windows can directly run the .exe executable program in the .zip compressed package or select the .exe installation package and .msi installation package to perform the installation operation. The .jar package can be directly run through the java -jar command.

Mode Description

1. Compatibility Mode
• Features: Prioritizes compatibility, suitable for most operating systems and application scenarios.
• Suitable Scenarios:
• When stability and accuracy of input are required.
• Suitable for scenarios where input speed is not critical but compatibility is necessary.
• Implementation Details: In this mode, MagicKeyboard simulates keyboard input in a more conservative manner to ensure proper operation across different applications.

2. Speed Mode
• Features: Prioritizes speed, suitable for scenarios with high input efficiency requirements.
• Suitable Scenarios:
• Scenarios involving large amounts of text input or requiring fast response times.
• Scenarios with lower compatibility requirements but prioritizing extreme input speed.
• Implementation Details: In this mode, MagicKeyboard simulates keyboard input in a more efficient manner, potentially sacrificing some compatibility for faster input speed.

• Users can choose different modes for keyboard input as needed.
• The default mode is Compatibility Mode.
• Users can switch between typing modes (Compatibility Mode/Rapid Mode) before starting to type.
