    Apple bluetooth keyboard to PC

    I'm looking at getting an apple bluetooth keyboard for use with a PC. It has listed a compatible DLink bluetooth dongle on the shop website. I already have an MSI one so will have to purchase another. Do I need any special drivers or anything to get this working on a PC?

    I am trying to find the answer to this question my self. I did look at a wired keyboard which i heard are compatable with windows XP but prefer a wireless keyboard. I also have an MSI bluetooth dongle and dont really want to purchase a new bluetooth dongle

    Hmm, In theory they should work, I guess, I don't think there are any special drivers, i think they are generic keyboards, apart from the odd function keys. I've got one connected to my mac, but don't have bt on my pc.

    The keyboard should work with any typical Bluetooth dongle. I have tried it on both Belkin and TDK dongles. It simply installs as a generic keyboard. It works brilliant, is one of the best keyboards you could get.

    But after a month or so mine stopped working. It would not stay connected, but I think this was down to the Belkin Bluetooth dongle; it quite old and I’ve had trouble with it before.

    I haven’t got the money to get another one. So mines sitting in it box at the minute.

    The 4 function keys don’t work. I believe it is possible to get them to work with various pieces of software that are about, but you require the D-link Dongle for this, So I haven’t got round to trying.
