John Robbins' Blog : Using an Apple Keyboard on Vista As you might have read in the past, I'm a very happy user of Vista x64 on a Mac Pro. I highly recommend the combo. Recently, I purchased an Apple aluminum keyboard. Before you think I'm a total Apple hardware freak (ok, so I am), my motivation for getting the keyboard was twofold. The Apple Keyboard works out of the box with Vista. Fortunately, Randy Santi, came through with his great SharpKeys program that takes all the pain out of setting up all the scan codes. What I did was map the following keys: The key, Unknown 0x006A is F19, so I can capture these screen shots with Kenny Kerr's Window Clippings. You're probably wondering why I didn't swap the Windows key and the alt keys around. One small problem I did find is that the fn key on the Apple keyboard, which I wanted to map to Insert, does not have a scan code recognized by Windows. Once you set up your keyboard settings with SharpKeys, log out so you can get them applied.
