Mac keyboard with PC?

by funops - 4/9/08 5:08 AM

Pretty sure the answer is no but want to check to be sure. I love the keyboard that came with my iMac (the ultra thin alum. keyboard USB). Can this keyboard be used on a PC computer (Windows)?

I do mostly writing with my computer and it sure is a comfortable keyboard to write with, but sometimes I have to use a PC at the office and the difference in my fingers and joints is quite noticeable.

TIA

But on newer PCs that have USB keyboard support. I decline to comment on more than this.

Cool, thanks. The PC set it up okay so that was a welcome surprise. "Decline to comment on more than this"?? well, okay, whatever. But thanks for jumping in. The good news is, when the boss saw I preferred and was using the Mac keyboard, he said hell just order a Mac (ordered an iMac like I use at home). So you can somewhat take credit, or blame, for that. happy

Cheers.

Why I was short.

Lately some members want long sweeping analysis and exact details and many of such. Sorry but my reaction to this has been to cut down on the length of the details when something does work.
