I've got a USB keyboard from a Mac G5 working on my PC. But I'd like to know if I can reconfigure the buttons to do windows tasks. In particular can I set one of the Mac keyboard's function buttons to 'Print screen'? That's the most important thing that I use a lot on my PC keyboard that the Mac keyboard doesn't have.

The Mac keyboard also has volume buttons up & down & a button for ejecting CD'DVD's. I'm less worried about getting these functioning but If I could do this easily it could be useful.

Cheers.
 
Cool. I think I've found exactly what I need on another thread. Something called AppleK Pro. Looks like this should do the job. Cheers ;)

The volume keys work out of the box but the eject key does not.

They don't seem to be working for me. They certainly don't work in Media player.

Also I can't seem to get XP to boot unless I have my PS2 keyboard hooked up. Once I'm in XP the Mac keyboard works fine. If I take out the Ps2 keyboard & reboot I get a 'no keyboard attached' (or words to that effect) warning during boot up. Don't really want to have my PS2 keyboard hooked up just so that I can use my Mac keyboard (which incidently is the best keyboard I have ever used! Why the Hell can't a PC keyboard manufacturer make something like this?!)

Someone on another thread has adviced me to enable Legacy support in the BIOS. but I can't find anything called Legacy & there doesn't seem to be anything relating to USB keyboard support either. There's something called USB controller on the same page as USB mouse support but this is already enabled.

Any ideas? Cheeers.
