For iMac Bootcamp / Windows 7 users, will this thing work when operating in Windows?

I want to say probably...I just plugged it in and it worked fine. Like you would use a keyboard.

Thanks Rando213. I have an iMac too, running Windows 7 through Bootcamp. I was just wondering if anyone in my situation was having trouble using this keyboard while running windows on their iMac, because I saw another comment where the person said she couldn't get the keyboard to work when Bootcamping Bill G's POS OS. Anyways, thanks for responding!

Sorry Barbara. I can only tell you that it works great with my laptop & Windows operating system. Perhaps someone else can help with iMac information.

If you mean both Mac & Windows compatible, Yes. I use it with my iMac at home and everything works as expected.

Apple provides drivers for most accessories to be used on Windows - search online for Bootcamp Support Software. I now have my Apple Cinema Display and USB apple keyboard working beautifully with my Windows 8 laptop.

It doesn't make a difference if it's a Mac Mini or any other Mac. It has Snow Leopard with Boot Camp, and it has high enough specs, and it's a safe bet dual booting works fine.

I have the iMac and went ahead and bought Windows 7 to do work stuff on it through Bootcamp. Then, just recently bought the VC500 - downloaded it on the Windows 7 side and was able to connect my camcorder to the VC500 which was connected to my Mac and recorded it on Windows 7. Makes sense?In a nutshell, buying a full version of Windows and installing on my Mac was the best thing I could ever do. It's the best of both worlds - really.

Hi Moscowite, I have only tried on a post 2011 27"all in one iMac, and its no go. I would be very surprised if it works on windows at all. sadly my windows laptop is not available to try it. Also it was developed by Belkin/Apple as a joint project. At the moment I have a brand new Belkin360 which I have no use for. If you determine it does work on windows, I would be delighted, theoretically if your windows laptop has a USB3 high speed port, then it might run ok. Bare in mind also it will round down the 1450 HD, to 720, so it will reduce picture quality a little. I have seen it run on a pre 2011 Mac and it looked very good, some loss of definition, however no noticeable drag increase on gaming.

Absolutely. I installed Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac via boot camp. I am running Mountain Lion OS on my Mac by the way. Also, my Mac has a 2.66 ghz processor and 8 GB of RAM. Windows 7 runs flawlessly, buttery smooth and lightning fast. You will love it. My only regret is I should have made the partition larger. I only devoted 80 GB to Windows, I wish i had devoted 200 GB of my 1 terabyte drive. Also, when you get to the point of formatting the drive during installation when Windows starts, choose ADVANCED and format the partition in the NTSB format. Windows will only run in this format, NOT the default FAT format that boot camp creates.

Unfortunately, I can't help you as I own an iMac and not a Windows 8 device. FYI...it shows as a 'removable disk', for what it's worth, on my Mac.

Yes, I've used on my iMac. I have quite an old OS (Snow Leopard... the best version of Mac OS), but I don't see why it shouldn't work on newer versions.

Should be! You might have to remap the Windows key to the Apple equivalent.

The unit itself is USB and will work with any USB enabled device. You will need drivers and a program which will allow you to use it. Take a look at Measurement Computing website www.mccdaq.com to see if they have anything for Mac. You can also search for third party implementation. If everything else fails then Parallels, or Boot Camp may be the solution as it will allow you to run Windows on Mac.

It works on my Imac 27 inch when running Windows 7 bootcamp as the primary Operating system and the blueray drivers / software from samsung are installed. In the MAC OS side, it works but there is not a blueray application player or software. I am very sure that MAC's still dont support it but I havent tried looking for a driver or software package or Codec. It can read the blueray disk though.
