will this keyboard work with Windows XP VM?

If you are running XP on a Mac and using this keyboard, then it should work.

Yes. It works well with Windows XP as long as you install the driver for it.

Yes, I sometimes use it with my work laptop (Win 7) and it works perfectly well. The keys are Mac, so it takes a little while to get used to the different mapping. The same keyboard exists with Windows keys, though.

If your powered KVM (and attached devices) support USB it sure will.Unpowered KVMs might not work.

There should be no issues with using this on almost any device that takes a USB plug. That said I have not used this particular keyboard with that particular operating system

I Googled it and people say it does. It worked with 7 for me. Keyboard drivers are pretty generic, so I believe you should have no problem.

I know it's designed to work with most Windows computers. Since it uses its keyboard driver. So it may work the same way with other Operating systems. And if it works with your computer, it should work with almost any software or service that's also on it.

I have not personally tested this keyboard on a machine running windows 8... but it should work no problem.

I don't know, i have windows 7. If it does work you wont regret the cheap purchase for a decent quality keyboard. If it doesn't you can probably send it back.

Shouldn't be a problem. I use mine with XP Pro x64 via VMWare Fusion and have had no issues.

Christopher, I'm currently using this keyboard with my WinXP Boot Camp install (20" Core Duo iMac), and it works pretty well. 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. As far as setup is concerned, I'm not sure how easily you'll get the drivers for this keyboard on Windows (sans Boot Camp, anyway). Maybe there's a generic BT keyboard driver that would work?

I understand that it will work. I currently use with android tablet and work perfectly. This keyboard is most designed for Windows base devices.

Yes it will work with any system with a USB port. Just unplug your old keyboard & plug this one into a USB port. If you're system uses anything from XP, Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 or 8.1 you computer will automatically install the drivers for you. It's a great keyboard I've been using it for a while now.

I can't be for sure if it is, because I don't run Windows 8 on my computer, but I would be surprised if a MICROSOFT keyboard wasn't compatible with WINDOWS 8 :)

It works in the BIOS so it acts as the base level acting as a physical keyboard so yes. I don't know if there is software for it.

This keyboard requires a USB connection, so as long as the laptop has an open USB port, the keyboard should work well with it.

I dont' have any compatibility info for that specific keyboard. It should work, if it doesn't we have a very good return policy.
