Mac Keyboard on Windows?

[BenWall]

I went into the mac store today and I loved the new keyboards, wanted to buy one but they had sold out.

But I have a PC will they work with Windows? I forgot to ask at the store.

Should do,
It's just a USB keyboard.

I installed the OS on the ClioSport server with one (last revision model tho)

It should work, but I have heard from somewhere that the drivers suppilied wont work with the PC.

Erm, it's a USB keyboard.. unless it's different to the last model..?

And, Mac's run Windows now..
If all else fails, you could get the drivers from Bootcamp.

As daz says the drivers will be in bootcamp.

heh, this is written using an Apple USB keyboard.
Apple key is the "Windows" key...

XP found it as an "Apple Enhanced USB Keyboard"

Aye, it will work on a PC. It may corrupt and destroy your PC when you connect it though.....

They do work, was looking into getting one before i bought my microsoft set as i wanted a white keyboard. Problem is i couldnt find a decent white mouse to go with it so scrapped the whole idea.

i am currently using the old style one with no problems.
This one looks awesome as well so will probably get this one.

Just to resurrect this thread. Is anyone else able to get into their BIOS on a PC using an Apple keyboard. I don't seem to be able to, and currently have to keep my OS2 keyboard plugged in too, which is a PITA. Strangely, once I get in to the BIOS, the Apple's up and down cursor keys work. Anyone able to shine light on this? Is it due to it being Apple, or is this just a problem in general with USB keyboards (incidentally, my BIOS doesn't seem to have an 'enable USB legacy support' option, which I thought might fix things).

I just turned on USB Keyboard Support and she works a treat. This is a new one.

To be honest once you have set the BIOS you dont really need to fiddle with it that much anyway. This is a Gigabyte DS4 board
