Windows version of the Apple Magic Keyboard and Trackpad

I am looking for a high quality windows version of the Apple Magic Keyboard and Trackpad.

Currently I use a Cherry Strait 3.0 keyboard, which is excellent, I just wish they would do a version without the numeric keypad.

Any recommendations?

Can you not use the Apple stuff with Windows? Or are you just after an equivalent?

MS Surface Keyboard? not sure about an independant trackpad though.

It looks like you can use the Apple keyboard on Windows by installing some software to adjust key mappings.

Has anybody used the Magic Trackpad 2 on Windows 10 using this software https://magicutilities.net/magic-trackpad/features ?

Just an update for anyone else interested in purchasing an Apple Magic Keyboard and Trackpad for Windows 10, they arrived yesterday and I installed the magicutilities demo and their keyboard layout.

The trackpad loses a little functionality on windows, the pinch and zoom does not work. But it's nice using two finger scrolling up and down pages like on MacOS and two finger back and forth. The keyboard works great. I get a sore hand occassionally from using the mouse so it's good being able to use a trackpad.

I have a 10 year old Wacom Bamboo touch that lets me pinch to zoom. I think they're about £10 second hand now.
