Hi Kevin: My guess is that if you use a pc keyboard, your Mac will stage a rebellion, and blow up and self destruct!!!! Ok, not really. But, having been a pc user and made the switch, I'd strongly recommend getting one of these nifty little Apple Wireless keyboards for around $60. You'll have a much easier time transitioning. But, that's just my opinion.
