Yes, a PC keyboard will work on a mac. If you go into system preferences and then keyboard & mouse you can change the modifier keys.

It depends, if the file is a .exe, it will not work. Also, macs aren't gaming computers. If you run games, it is likely that your mac will freeze.

Can you hook up an Apple keyboard to a PC?

Basically, Yes. Apple keyboards are USB keyboards, and all basic functions will work just fine on a PC, with some limitations: the hardware control functions (volume control, brightness control, media control buttons, etc.) will not work, and the modifier keys are marked differently than those on a Windows computer (for example, the [option] key on a Mac keyboard is where the [Windows] key would be on a PC keyboard).

Can a different keyboard be used for the mac book?

As long as the keyboard is a USB 2.0 keyboard, then you should be able to use a good majority of the keys. However, keyboard shortcuts cannot be used, such as Command+Q (the shortcut to quit out of a program), since PC keyboards do not have the command key. Plus, if all programs are not responding, Ctrl+Alt+Delete will not work to forcibly quit those programs, because on a Mac you would press Option/Alt+Command+tab, and the command button isn't on the PC keyboard. You can still use the PC keyboard to type with numbers and all, but there are limitations.
