Hi,

I have Windows XP, and I was wondering if I could use the Apple keyboard drivers with a non-Apple keyboard by installing a different set of drivers. Also, does it matter that my keyboard does not connect via USB?

Aluminum Keyboards? Here is what I did...

I took my BootCamp drivers CD and loaded it into a PC notebook, as well as a desktop. It installed way too much stuff. I uninstalled.

Next I loaded the cd and cancelled the auto-install. I looked at the contents from (right-click) "explore". I dragged the Apple drivers into a desktop "new" folder. I recreated the contents of the cd exactly the same but without all the excess hardware drivers and stuff. It installed. I got the keyboard manager and everything. I plugged in the keyboard (wired and wireless - returned the wireless board because I don't like replacing batteries plus the "fn" key was unresponsive) and it works. So does Mighty Mouse (wired).

I forgot to "just try" the keyboard without the BootCamp drivers - maybe it works anyway! I'm happy with it.
