Apple keyboard compatible with PC's?

[nycxandy]

Is there anyway I can use current Apple keyboards on a PC? I've checked the Apple site and it says it requires a Mac OS. Are there any applications that will make it work for a PC?

Thanks.

It works. No need for applications to make it work.

What about the special function keys on it? Is there a way I can enable/customize them?

The volume keys and the eject key probably won't work. But you should be able to assign those keys to do something. I know you can assign some keys on the keyboard to do certain things in the Mac OS.

Wouldn't you need some sort of application to assign the keys?

The Mac OS has that built in. Not sure if Windows allows you to do it. If not, you probably need some sort of application.

I am using an imac keyboard (cause they are good for typing IMO), only thing that doesn't work is the power button.

I've used it... but I don't think its worth $10.... So I removed it.

Keep in mind that if you use an Apple keyboard, the Alt/Apple(Windows) keys are flipped from where they would be if it were a PC keyboard, so it may take some getting used to.

Also with the fact that the imac versions don't have the delete button... So always plug in a spare 😎
