I've been searching around recently for a keyboard and because I'm kinda picky about them I only seem to like Apple's wireless one but I then wondered to myself will it work with a PC? Can anyone help?

It should work fine, as long as you have BlueTooth. You will also have to put up with having CTRL, and ALT in different places, as well as having a command button, and no Windows button. (Although, the Command button takes the place as a Windows button, doesn't it?)

Anyway, I would suggest doing a simple Google search before you invest $70 into one.

I can't speak for the wireless version, however I use the wired aliminum keyboard with WIndows 7 x64. If you wish to map the keyboard the way you want, lets say to match normal Windows keys - Download a program called SharpKeys. It'll allow you to map any key to your specification. I used it to enable F11-F12 for volume up and down, as well as F13 for print screen.

Make sure you have bluetooth and it should hook up. It might be odd having command keys on PC though.

It will great, just for typing purposes, assuming that you do have Bluetooth. If you do not have Bluetooth built into your computer, you may want to rethink that option by purchasing the Wired Aluminum Apple Keyboard. That will work perfectly with Windows 7, as I am using it myself :)

I'm using both the Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse on Windows 7 64-bit and they work just fine for me.
