Colonel Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The Apple keyboard should just work with Plug n' Play. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15813-apple-pro-keyboard-windows-drivers/#findComment-101510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechmess Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 It works for the most part but there are small things that dont work like the number pad, the eject key, and some of t he plus or minus buttons- i know that there are other programs out there like meymappers i could use but i want ot use the apple driver Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15813-apple-pro-keyboard-windows-drivers/#findComment-101752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I, sadly, don't have a "real" Intel Mac so I can't use Boot Camp and get the drivers. I want one though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15813-apple-pro-keyboard-windows-drivers/#findComment-101757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrimes80 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 clear key on the 10-key is "number lock" ... hit that and you'll get that pad working... (minus the clear key) I'm no genius, but I doubt that there is such a driver for the keyboard to rid the differences... If you do find a solution, post it up...

johnniecarcinogen Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 the keyboard works well on XP (except there is no 'print screen' key and eject key doesn't function). The driver the colonel and others (like myself) are talking about on the disc made from boot camp is only for the eject key, I believe.

Rammjet Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 If you use Pacifist to open the BootCamp package, you will find a disk image. Mount the image and open it and find an exe named: "Install Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP.exe". I wonder if just running that (80 MB) exe would give everything you need plus some.

Roland77 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 yer the guy is right. I used apple keyboard pro all the time on xp with that program, u can easily configure any key u want (even break / printscreen etc) u gotta pay for it tho, 1.45i cracked is easy to find works great,takes up 2 mb ram.

adachis Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 In case people are having trouble grabbing the Apple keyboard drivers (or just can't) for the new aluminum keyboard, I've put them online: http://www.adamdachis.com/software/apple/a...amp_drivers.zip When you download those, you'll need to install the Boot Camp Control Panel in order to get things working with the keyboard. If you try to run just the executable for the keyboard it won't work. Also, here's a doc that goes over mapping: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304270 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15813-apple-pro-keyboard-windows-drivers/#findComment-437968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin- Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thank you so much Adachis! <33 Edit: I got this thread from Google and just realized how horrible of a bump this was. Sorry.

rtdzign Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I recently found a link to a utility that allowed me to customize my apple keyboard and reassign those function keys to do what I want. The original blog that let me to the sharpKeys link http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbin...d-on-vista.aspx and the link to the free software http://www.randyrants.com/2006/07/sharpkeys_211.html I was able to assign all the extra keys on the keyboard to get it to do what I want. It appears to work with my mouse. Be warned that this writes things to the registry so don't remap your entire keyboard and make your computer unusable.

render^ Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Great replies from everyone, but here I have another solution. http://www.kudzuworld.com/blogs/tech/20080101.en.aspx Gives a nifty little script that works with www.autohotkey.com and has support for Cmd-Tab, Cmd-F10,11, and 12, and the Eject button, among others. I downloaded the alternate version. It does not replace the apple keyboard driver (which enables the Fn button) and there's no fancy Mute/volume up/down translucent feedback like Bootcamp does, but it is quite a treat for such a small script. It keeps it simple, avoiding the need to download and install 381MB of data just for a keyboard.
