That's a sweet looking keyboard, would look nice with my Quicksilver too. Question: does the Windows key match to the command key? If not, how do the keys at the bottom map to the Mac's keyboard layout?

From using a Windows-layout keyboard on my Mac, I can tell you that the Windows key will be equivalent to the Command key, and the Alt key is the same as Option. The rest should be the same, with F12 serving as the eject key.

You can get a little utility called uControl to switch the option and command keys. Just hope that it has a Windows key on either side of the space bar - if it only has one on the right side, then you'll only have one Option key. The "contextual menu" key on the right side of most Windows keyboards has no function in OS X, and unfortunately it cannot be remapped to Option.

lol Im glad you liked it but the point was if theres any keyboard thats all silver with out black. I do like the keyboard indeeed but I have a power book and it has to match 100% ot 50%. Tell us your experience with it and for that price its one heck of a darn deal. I just need that and a siliver mouse since the mx900 is not enless I paint it siliver. lol.

A keyboard with a Windows key on it would certainly not look nice with your Quicksilver. There's something just... unnatural about that...
