The keyboard is great, the bluetooth sometimes does not work, i get repeated keystrokes etc. This never happens on Mac. This has to do with bluetooth device drivers than the keyboard. The keyboard, itself is really awesome. However, I really miss the "delete, page down/up" keys etc. I wish someone comes up with the keyboard like this for windows.The Delete key even after mapping does not work with Outlook, you would need to press "CTRL+D" to delete emails.

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.

There are several issues with getting this computer to correctly work with windows, or should I say you getting use to the keyboard. The keyboard is really awesome, but doesn't play well with Windows.- Delete key, even if you map it (using several mapping utilities such as sharp key) will not work in outlook. So deleting emails is really pain. Still trying to figure this one out.- Alt/Window -> alt/Command, this mapping is easy or just get used to switched key combinations-- Fwd delete / backspace-- no page up/page down / insert

Works fine. Apparently, you can map the keyboard to make it more functional in a windows environment, but I have not gotten around to doing it. At any rate, I have been using it for several months with Windows 7 and love it.

Yes it does ...But certain keys won't work because they're specifically designed for Mac computers ...There's a review for Windows 7 users ...: )

Yes it works with Windows 7. Here at work we are using it on a Windows 7 system and we have not had any issues with it running in Windows 7.

There is no windows key. This keyboard is not for gaming, is for regular office work. If you are looking for a backlight keyboard for gaming go to Logitech.

I don't think a Mac has window's, that's only for Microsoft users, but I did have this keyboard for two years and it's great on my MacBook Air 13 inch, and never had issues what so ever...Hope this helps!

Hello. This keyboard is built with the Chrome OS in mind. It does not have the function keys associated with a Windows keyboard. The basic keys would probably work, but if you ever needed an F key or a Windows home key one would be out of luck. Hope this helps.

I do not know if it does but it works with a exopc slate running windows 7. I have been building computers since 1992 and my best guess is that it will work with any item designed to use a Bluetooth keyboard. I found it a little small and purchased a Bluetooth keyboard from Logitech to use with my Fujitsu M532 tablet though.

Ya. I just bought the newer version of the apple wireless keyboard today and I'm typing this with the keyboard. And yes, I have Windows 7 installed on my PC laptop. Everything works really well and the setup was easy. Make sure your computer is searching for a bluetooth device and turn on the keyboard. Windows will then search and install drivers for it. Once it's connected, it will even show that you're using an Apple keyboard. My only gripes are the Return (Enter) key is not wide/big enough for my liking and I have no idea how to use the FN keys because those do not work.Good luck Ya.

No it just looks that way in the photo and yes normally any keyboard is compatible with any version of windows. I am using with windows 8.1

It is a standard Windows keyboard layout so should since all of my legacy Windows keyboards work with Windows 8 using the Windows keys. I have used this specific keyboard at work, where we use Windows XP (don't laugh) but there is no reason this will not work with WIN 8.

Yes, it does work with Windows 7. I bought 2 of them and they work great! I was a little concerned because they were so inexpensive, but no problem...

It worked with the version of Windows 8 that came installed on my PC that I bought last year. I don't know what version of Windows 8 that was, so I cannot comment from experience. I can say that this keyboard also works with my iMac. I realize that's not a very helpful answer, but that's all I can tell you.

It is a great looking keyboard, for sure, and might even have worked...that is, if I could have ever have gotten it to work with Windows 8.1 I was forced to return it because there were problems with the Windows 8.1 drivers...they may be fixed now, but I doubt it based on everything I could discover on the web about the keyboard. It was a few months ago, so you might give it a try but just wanted to let you know the problems I had with it.

I haven't had any problems so far using this keyboard with Win. 7 or 8. Logitech has great software.

It is my understanding that you must use Windows 7 or higher. I tried it using XP and it did not work. I now have Windows 7 64 bit; however, I have not yet tried to connect the keyboard. I do not know the range.

I'm using this keyboard with Windows 7 Home Premium. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It works fine for me, using Windows 8, it's basically hardware only, I see no reason it wouldn't work with Windows 7.

Yes, I'm using this keyboard with my WinXP Boot Camp install, and I have to say, I've only had one problem--whenever I accidentally engage the caps lock key, the keyboard locks up (i.e., input isn't getting to the XP machine), and so I have to open the battery compartment (to shut the keyboard off), close the compartment, and re-push the power/connect button on the keyboard to make XP take input again. This isn't a big problem for me because I don't use the caps lock key intentionally. Whenever I'm gaming (which, honestly, is the only reason I reboot anymore--I've also got Parallels so I can use Office '07 in OS X), though, and this happens, there are often dire consequences. As far as setup is concerned, I have to say that it was so easy that I forget how it happened!
