Default Will my Mac PT keyboard work under Win7?

It is a USB keyboard so it should, right? Or are there different keys?

They work fine. The Apple (command) key becomes the "Windows" key. Control is Control and Option is Alt.

There are some slight differences in the key commands then. For instances save is Control-S (standard PC) not Windows-S which would look like it should be since substituting Windows key for the Command key.

It can get a little confusing - especially if you are going back and forwarded to different mac/pc systems. I really like the older generation Mac keyboards and think the little brain hassle is well worth it. Once you've used it for a while it will be fine.

Hi, I got my system up and running and Im installing my plugs now. Yes the keyboard seems to work but as you said many of the shortcuts need to be re-learned thats for sure. I was wondering another thing, is it possible to get apple mouse 360degree scrolling happening? Right now only vertical scroll works, not the horizontal. Thanks again!
