Can an apple USB keyboard be used on a PC ?

Jacky_BEL · Aug 31, 2021

I am searching for a PC keyboard with a specific language layout which is hard to get locally.
Now I came across such a keyboard , but it is for Apple
So, does anyone have knowledge if an apple USB keyboard also works on a PC ?

Should work in Windows 10, you need to enable legacy USB devices to have it recognised during post, and you may have to remap some keys manually through Windows (prtscrn, Insert, NumLock) though looks fairly straight forward
