Apple Mac keyboards?

I love the look of a mac but everytime i use 1 i just wanna jump back to my pc.

i would like to put a Mac Keyboard on my pc is this possible cus it should just be a standard usb keyboard right?

 

yeh they work fine, ive used one before. the mice do too

 

yes, they will work fine on a pc, however all of the functionality of the buttons will not be present without searching for the "windows" version of drivers (note these are not from apple, so use at your own risk)

read: f13-f16, volume & eject keys wont work

 

the apple USB keyboards and mice are horrid things. worst thing about apple tbh. i have a set and i really wanna sell tbh. you can buy em both if you want one. USB kbd and mighty mouse - interested?

 

Why do they call it a mighty mouse when it isn't all that mighty ?

 

actually, volume keys work fine. some of the function keys might do stuff but i've forgotten.

 

I like Apple keyboards and mice, if the remotes had more functions I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. I especially like the scroll wheel, never used them on a windows box though, only on the intel imac at school.

 

how much for just the keyboard?

 

Agreed, the mice are like when I was back in school using the trashed 10-year old budget ball mice.

 

love my mac keyboard... t'is the sex

 

The mice are horrid though, even if they look cool. Only real issue I see with the keyboards is that they'd get dirty quickly... but those "mighty" mice are really just overpriced crap. I really just can't get away from my $20 MS Intellimouse, even if the Mac software for it leaves a little bit to be desired (relatively speaking that is, it's much better than any Windows software MS has made, including Windows). Of course mine's a bit the worse for wear, but that tends to happen when a spraypaint job goes awry and you need to sand it off with whatever sandpaper you have handy. Oh well.

 

would rather sell em both tbh. think i'll stick em on ebay soon.

 

They look cool? News to me, I just think the scroll ball thingy is nice.

 

Have you used one firsthand? I have pretty small hands, and I find it incredibly awkward because it feels too small. That, and it just feels a bit unpredictable when compared to a normal wheel, even if the ball does look cooler. Though after finally having rid the world of ball mice, I'm not so sure one on the top is a great solution. For how they look, they're really nowhere near functional enough to compensate (or... that didn't come out right... but you get the idea).

 

Yes, i use one almost every weekday, and i love it. much handier for side to side scrolling that anything else. I like the tactilicity of it too, just the way it works. I dont like the way it fits my hand though, nor the way it looks...

 

PCWORLD :

got my wac white keyboard for £13

its more of a brown colour now..yay....but ive managed to keep it free od biscuit crumbs, small hairs and otehr general stuff that shows up when u ahve a clear keyboard bottom.

 

I love Mac keyboards but they're just so pricey! The only one I'd consider going for is the wireless/bluetooth ones. They're much nicer to type on though. Apart from the final-cut-modded ones, they're bloody awful.

 

they're about $30 over here in the states...

the wireless ones are around $60...

about equivalent to a MS one or logitech i think?

 

£39 for the keyboard, £49 for the mighty mouse over here

Thing is, I got a wireless keyboard, mouse and remote from logitech for £39...

 

Surely that's for the bluetooth ones... right? That wouldn't be too far off our prices, especially if that includes VAT (as our prices never include sales tax).
