Apple Keyboard Fullsize + Windows

Yes, it does work – but it needs some trickery.

I’m running a Dell laptop with Windows 7 – the reason for buying this keyboard is mainly that it’s slick, minimalistic, and anything you’d expect from Apple – it’s also cased in aluminum, so it’s a bit more robust than other keyboards. The keys are also nicely sized, fitting your fingertips unless you have quite large fingertips.

I’ve remapped some of the buttons on the keyboard to suit Windows a bit more – using this application.

Here’s a screengrab of my keybind-setup (the 0x006A key is F19, and the Right Windows (Right cmd) is right-click dropdown menu)

Finally I must say, the keyboard is a delight to type with – it makes nearly no sound at all, and the keys feel smooth. The aluminum coating also provides for an easy cleaning.
