Is it compatible with PCs?

First of all, I use an iMac and am not familiar with any PC.I no longer use any Apple keyboard: the keys are white with black lettering and some of the letters and numbers wear off rather quickly, to the point they can't be read.To answer your question directly, the Apple keyboard functions well enough -- on an Apple computer with OSX. I certainly would not trust it for a PC (Windows). I now use a MACALLY keyboard. The only problem I have is with the spacebar -- it is mounted in such a way that unless it is struck with some force directly in the center it won't space. Keyboards in general are a pain in the kizwaska. As far as I know (and I would assume I'm correct), NO Apple product is intended to be used with a PC.

I've tried it, It will work for simple usage such as typing, it does not have a numbers lock feature, so you can't use the number keys on the right side of the keyboard you have to use the ones at the top of the keyboard, you have different keys that you may want to us for a PC that are not on a Mac keyboard. I you want you could buy on to try it & see how it works for you, if you are not comfortable, return it for a refund (make sure where you but it they give you a refund and not store credit)

Yes this keyboard is compatible with PC. I use this keyboard as my primary PC keyboard. The Function keys don't work with the apple specific purpose unless you pick up a free application called autohotkey(AHK) and the associated script to make them work. It's not perfect, but I just use it with the standard windows drivers and it works fine as a regular keyboard. The Command key works as the windows key on PC. You can still use it for windows key+F for search, and windows key+D for desktop. It works like any other keyboard, but it has a few extra keys that will be MAC specific. The only key related issue I have is the location of the Alt key is unusual, but that is easy to overlook. If you like the way it looks, I say buy it. I particularly like the two extra USB ports you get at the bottom, they come in handy. The only problem I have ever had with this keyboard is one that not many will ever experience. If you have poor grounding in your building like I did in one apartment, don't be surprised if the aluminum surface sends a jolt through parts of your body that aren't your hands. Parts like an exposed leg when you are wearing shorts and typing on your lap. Read up on it, you may find I'm not the only one to report this. Besides that, it has been a great keyboard for me for nearly 5 years. I love it.

No. The keys are different. Especially the bottom row left and right of the space bar. Amazingly Apple does not put a Windows button on their keyboards!!

Yes it's compatable. I have used it with my current rig that runs win 7 and Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion.

I use it on PC but as long as the computer has an USB port it should work with no problem.

Sorry, I have only used it with a PC. It does have a standard usb plug in so it should work with any device that would allow the usb plug in.

Hi,This device should be compatible with most computers. I use mine as a wireless receiver, it works well. Setup was simple

I don't know, we returned it without opening the box when we saw that it was not compatible with our computers.

If you have a USB on your PC - yes. Most PCs have at least one USB slot - that is how I am using it.

Yes, is it compatible. There is an option to get the mouse and keyboard bundled, so as long as you have an open port for the USB dongle, you can use it all together. Mac or PC works.

I can't say yes or no, but I can tell you how I figured out if it was compatible with my computer. I googled my computer model to get the instruction booklet which told me how to look on my computer to find the specifications (speed, operating system, etc.). I hope this helps.

I use mine for a Mac and it works wirelessly. I'm not so sure about a PC but I'd assume so.

I use it at work and we are running windows 7. As any plug and play device, I would be certain that it would be compatible.

I'm very confident that it would be compatible. Worked for me on Windows 8 so I'd be shocked if it didn't for you.

I believe it is compatible. I have an HDMI cable hooked up to the computer and monitor.
