<div>Parallels works fine on the newer Macs and as far as I can tell runs windows at near native speeds. My solution to the keyboard mapping is to have a Windows keyboard attached to the parallels VM. I use Windows Narrator which has seen considerable improvements over the years. </div>

<div dir="ltr">I was an exclusive Mac user for my personal computer for ten years, ran Windows on it via Bootcamp. However you can't do that anymore, and I don't think running it via Parallels or Fusion will ever be as good as the real deal. The Mantis will only work via USB if you want to use it with Windows, and you have to fiddle with key mapping. My next personal laptop will likely be a Thinkpad. It's really too bad, because I really do like having both Operating Systems, but VS Code on the Mac is just not very fun. Someday I'd like to have a powerful Mac, Windows Machine, and Linux machine to fiddle with.</div>
