Default question about switching from PC to Mac and back

Let's say I have a Pro Tools on a PC and a Pro Tools on a Mac, and one Pro Control. Can I switch the Pro Control from one computer to the other and back with no technical restrictions?

I'm not talking about an instantaneous process, I'm not looking to switch it 10 times a minute. Every few weeks perhaps. I'm thinking primarily about the keyboard, and how well it works for either computer. Was the keyboard made for either platform in mind or is it a better fit for the Mac ?

Thanks -MG

can't see why it wouldn't work ... I would think PC and mac work with the same firmware versions right ?

Easily, I do it all the time.

Are you talking about the Edit Pack keyboard? If so, just be sure to flip the switch on the back to the appropriate setting: mac or pc.
