mac keyboards work ONLY with macs?

[JonnyK]

i was browsing keyboards and i've really been wanting one that's like a laptop keyboard, i like the flat responsive keys they have, and i found this one. http://www.macally.com/spec/usb/input_device/icekey.html it says it's for mac's only, does that really matter? a keyboard is a keyboard right?

i just realized that it has the apple key instad of the windows key, could you just assign it as the windows key? if there would be a problem with using this on a windows pc, does anyone know of any similar keyboards made for windows pc's?

Well a usb keyboard is a usb keyboard. So I don't see why not

I have used the Mac pro keyboard on a computer. I got bored at work one day and hooked three Mac keyboards plus a ps2 keyboard up to one ofour winxp machines then two mac mice and another usb mouse

ive plugged Apple keyboards and mice into my computer before...
Device Manager shows it as "Apple Keyboard" and it works fine.

The APPLE key is the Windows Key I think.

I have a Logitech USB keyboard that has a Windows and a Mac OS icon on the box. I've seen Mac keyboards, and boy are they tiny. I need a man-sized keyboard.

The diNovo Media Desktop keyboard has the feel of a notebook.

i think i might get that mac keyboard, it looks neat. i don't know if i'll like not having my glowing one i use now, its nice if i need to find a peck an f1-12 button or something like that at night. i might run some el wire up under my desk above the keyboard tray or something.
