Comment: Can I hook up an apple keyboard (the new one running on USB) to my AMD PC? I'm making my own computer out of Plexiglass and I thought it would be cool if I had the apple clear keyboard and mouse...Please reply soon. Thanks... Notch_Zero

Reply: (edit)Yeah, it'll work with generic PC keyboard drivers, if what someone told me a while back is right. I think there might even be specific drivers that remap the few different keys. The single-button mouse may or may not be an issue; again, it comes down to drivers. p

Reply: (edit)I'm a PC and Mac user in the UK and have both
networked together. However I use only one
keyboard - that being the Apple one - and have it
connected to the mac and pc via a KVM switch. I
have both systems operating at the same time
and can switch between them using the same
keyboard and mouse. I have to set the language
on the p.c. to English US though because of
where the keys are positioned on the apple
keyboard but it works fine. As mentioned in
previous posts I have changed the mouse from
the Apple one to a two button USB scrolling
device, as this works better in windows and also
is very useful in mac OS.

Reply: (edit)You can do a right click with the standard
mac gear but it's annoying after about
5mins of surfing and saving(ctrl+mouse
click),but you can buy a two button mac
mouse!(even third party usb mac mices
look way cooler than most pc
ones!),they're are also adapters that
convert a usb mouse to ps/2.(My two
button PC mouse came with one!)
