Best Answer

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.
