Apple bluetooth keyboard with windows can it work?

[rachel]

Hi i own an a PPC Mac laptop and a mini PC that i use for XP. I am fine with just having XP on my mini PC.

 

If i cannot get this bluetooth keyboard to work with my mini PC i will need to sell it which i do not really want to do.

 

Has anybody got any ideas or know or any drivers that i could download that could get my keyboard to work with XP?

 

Thanks

Have you tried it yet? It shouldn't need any drivers to work with it (assuming you have BlueTooth up and running on the PC already).

Hi i have tried it and i cannot get it to work. I used to own a Intel Mac and i had bootcamp on there and i could get the keyboard to work but i had also installed the Apple drivers for Bootcamp. Now though I just cannot get it to work with my XP Mini PC. I tried to load the Bootcamp drivers onto my Mini PC but it just did not work.

 

I did a search because of the problems that i have been having getting it to work and Apple state on their website that the Bluetooth wireless keyboard is only compatible with a Mac only.

I have gotten a Mac Bluetooth Keyboard to work with my Windows PC. The trick is witch bluetooth stack your using. I could not get it to with any other stack except BlueSoleil. It works perfect. turn keyboard on -> discover devices on windows -> pair keyboard -> at this point windows gives you a 6 digit number to type on the keyboard and press enter. Viola. It works with any usb stick, as long as your using BlueSoleil
