Apple Wireless Keyboard in Windows 7, but not on a Mac?

[Eug]

With the replacement for a defective iMac, I got an Apple Wireless Keyboard with it. However, this would represent an extra bonus keyboard, since I actually had originally gotten the wired keyboard with numeric keypad, which I prefer using anyway with my iMac.

The wireless one would come in useful with my home theatre setup, but I'd probably be using an Acer Revo or something there. How easy is it to set up with something like that? I do have a D-Link Bluetooth adapter for it. Will I need the Bootcamp drivers? If so, how best to extract it?

It doesn't matter if it works with the BIOS and everything. I just need it to work consistently in Windows 7, including at the login.

no its just a bluetooth keyboard. might need drivers if you want to use the fancy mac buttons but really there aren't any lol.

some people install intellipoint for their microsoft keyboard. i prefer to keep the carp factor down since i just type.

It'll work just fine as a standard bluetooth keyboard,though you might have to grab some third party software to remap keys if they're not to your liking. Also, I never did figure out if it was possible to use the Backspace (labeled delete) as an actual Delete key on windows. That was assuming the tenkeyless model.

I found it too annoying for everyday typing and use, though I imagine it'd be great for an HTPC or the like. There might be a smidgen of a delay at the login prompt while Windows initalizes the drivers for it, but I think that's the only real significant "problem" I ran in to, aside from some key mappings.

You can extract the drivers from the Leopard or Snow Leopard disk using pacifist, or you can find them online and download them with transmission.
