Mac Keyboards with PC?!?!?

[ben-scargill]

Hey people, Just another one of my little queeries!

Erm... just wondered if there was a mac-style keyboard that was compatible with a PC?

Or is the current macintosh keyboard?

Thanks!

Ime not too sure but I think that if you plug the mac key bored into the computer then it should work but Ime not 100% sure here.

It will work, even with a Vista PC. My father gave back to me a 24" iMac that I gave to him for Christmas, but he liked the Apple keyboard so much, that he kept it. He now uses it with a brand new HP PC, and although some of the keys are not compatible in Windows (e.g., eject, volume, etc.), most of the primary keys work just fine.

I have done the inverse in a pinch too, using my Mac USB keyboard on a PC. That also worked, although again some of the keys didn't behave as you would expect them to on the Mac.

USB is USB and the keyboards are made to operate with USB. Admittedly the Control, Option and Apple keys perform somewhat differently, but they are called different things on the PC board.
