Using Apple Product in Windows PC

qwvb1111 · Sep 8, 2015

Greetings everyone. Recently I want to buy a new keyboard, since I like the thinness of membrane keyboard, and I pretty much dislike the typing sound of keyboard, so I want to buy Apple keyboard with Numberic Keypad (MB110LL / B).

Hmm... Because I like the style of this keyboard, it's thin, aluminium body, white in color, matches all the factors I want. But as I don't have a Mac, I am using a normal self-build Windows PC. So I have some questions about using Appe keyboard in Windows PC.

1. Do you recommend using an Apple keyboard in Windows PC? Any conflicts with Windows PC?

2. How to Print Screen using this keyboard? It's Fn+11 in Wireless version but I don't know how in this numeric keypad version...

3. Windwos button = Command, Alt = Option is that correct? If so that means I will have to change the habit of pressing buttons when inputing things like Alt + Tab and Win + R(Run) in Windows PC?

4. What is the function of the buttons next to F12? F13 - F16 I mean, above numeric keypad, I heard I need to install extra drivers to get it works, but actually I don;t think I need those buttons...

I haven't used Apple product before, since Apple is a famous company I think the stuffs are trustworthy, I have tried to find other keyboards but even the packaging is not looking good in the computer shops in my country... Plus it contains all the factors I want. So that's why I want to buy an Apply keyboard.

Do you guys recommend using it? Any important thing I need to notice? Or I better switch back to normal keyboards? Please post your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Thank you sna for your reply, very detailed and thank you for giving me all those suggestions too! I will surely take a look at them later.

So you wouldn't suggest using Apple product on Windows PC right?

And actually I didn;t buy anything online before, Although Amazon is the famous online store from what I know, I don;t know what to when buying things online, and what should be noticed... Extra charges? How will they give me the product? Who will be giving the product? What if the quality is not good since I can't try them personally...

Sorry for so many questions, I will look at all of suggestions you gave me. I didn't where to find those in my city's shop though, but I will try/... Because some packaging is really bad...

If it is cheaper and suits what I want then it is needed... I only want to know is there any conflict like I mentioned in my first post.

I live in China, but I don;t think there are shops that sell those keyboards and are trustworthy...
