I have been given a choice at work. either use their nasty bulky keyboards or just buy one of my choice.
I decided to buy one on my own. =)
But i would like some suggestions based on your experiences. Im more or less looking for a clone of the apple keyboard, but for a pc.
Thank you,
p.s. Oh if possible would you post the pictures here? a lot of sites are blocked here at work and when i click links i cant even look at the site, let alone the suggestions you have.

Why not just use an Apple one on the PC?

There is no windows key on apple keyboards. Is that even a legal thing to do? i mean poor keyboard, to be subjected to such use. that has to give you some bad karma in doing somethign like that. lol
but good idea, i wonder if i could buy an old use imac g3 keyboard. those were so neat and compact.

The Mac has the command key which I am sure you can just remap. There is also an ALT key on Mac keyboards.

IceKey is awesome! But mine broke. It stopped working one day and now kernel panics all my Macs when I plugged it in.

I have a Matias Tactile Pro keyboard and I love it. It feels exactly like a Apple ADB Extended Keyboard II. A really nice feature of the Tactile Pro is that the special characters for each key are printed on the keys themselves. (Exs. Option-6 is the section symbol, Option-7 is the paragraph symbol.)
The Tactile Pro doesn't have a Windows key, but I think that the Cmd key is automatically mapped to the Windows key if you connected it to a PC.

I drove down to my local Apple store and bought a wired usb keyboard. PERFECT! Now i do not have the print screen, scroll lock, and pause break keys. I need the pause break key for sure and the print screen is occasionally used
I know this is a mac forum, but how do i remap those keys onto the f14 to f16 keys?
I'm sure its a 3rd party program i have to use to have this happen. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
