If only it was PC compatible.

Thanks for the other recommendations, any more?

I've not tried the current generation skinny mac keyboard, but the older ones work fine with regular PCs.

If you want it to improve your typing, get an old IBM Model M instead.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a standard USB keyboard in a tarty shell Smile My mighty mouse works absolutely fine through bluetooth with windows and I very much doubt that the keyboard will be any different no matter what Apple say.

Got one hooked up to a Windows PC at work. It's bluetooth. I *think* Windows has had bluetooth for a little while now. Smile

It's 100% compatible as I'm using one now on vista and have done for over a year
