How can I map my windows keyboard to Mac?

Question

I recently got a mac and was wondering if there was a simple solution to mapping my keyboard directly to mac. I really dislike the mac keyboard and ideally want to map the keyboard identically to the windows one. Is that possible?

In the macOS keyboard settings you can flip the Command and Option keys. That&rsquo;s really all that&rsquo;s needed.

For more advanced mapping (should you need it &mdash; see al_borland's comment) check out Karabiner Elements. It's been rock solid for me.Keyboard Maestro will also do the trick, but Karabiner Elements might be lower-level and less fuss once you get it set up.
