I have used an iMac keyboard and mouse on PCs without any problems. You just have to make sure that USB keyboard and mouse support is enabled in the PC's BIOS.

Hi Scott,
I would say the short answer is 'Yes'.
I have seen a lot of PC users connecting USB keyboards (not many mice though as the PC users seem to like 2+ buttons and a scroll wheel) to a myriad of laptops and desktops running Winblows 2000 and XP mainly and they all report that no extra drivers were required.

I hate to admit it, but I have to use a PC over the next week :( because I'm afraid Virtual PC just can't cut it (and won't even run on my G5!)
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use my mac keyboard and mouse (both USB) on a PC? Obviously, it has the ports - but will it need drivers, or some kind of OS onboard to recognise the USB? This sounds suspiciously off-topic for the list doesn't it. Apologies in advance.
Cheers,
