I am typing on a Studioboard on a Windows computer right now (I bought it for my Mac, but am using the keyboard at work for now.) The control, alt, and windows (command) keys seem to work fine too. The keyboard is loud but feels great. I can definitely type faster on this keyboard. Too bad Kensington doesn't make it anymore. The Studioboard does indeed work on Windows.

However, I wish more details on the "loud" part. I can't stand keyboard that make too much noise, and prefer laptop keyboard just for this reason. So far, the MacAlly "Icekey" keyboard is the best overall desktop keyboard I know. Such a pleasure to type quietly! This low-noise keyboard technology should be used by Apple.
