I have a logitech navigator cordless due that I use with my PB. I hook it up USB. How do I get the the keyboard to use all the apple shortcut commands. Do I have to install the logitech software or should it just be plug and play.

By "Apple shortcut keys" do you mean the quick launch keys? You'll want to install the software to configure those keys. The keyboard should give basic functionality if you only plug it in and skip the software install.

It should do all the typical Apple shortcuts without drivers; this is assuming is does have a Command Key, Alt/Option key, and NOT a Windows Start key.

I went to the logitech website and downloaded the file for the type of keyboad/mouse i have and it worked like a charm --installed it and then set up all the fancy keyboard shortcuts --thanks

Awesome! Logitech typically works very well w/ Mac products, I wouldn't hesitate buying their stuff after owning my MX500.

If the keyboard has a Windows Start button, that will probably be your command key. But you'll be out of luck if you want f13 through f15 :-)
