The one you posted will work fine, you'll just have to remap the Control, Windows, and Alt key to the appropriate Apple keys.
P.S. The extras might not work 100% on it.

I'm looking at this Black Friday Staples deal on the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard for $29.99

It doesn't officially support Mac's but others claim they work fine.

anyone have this keyboard?
comments?
I ended up buying a white full sized mac keyboard that came with a guy's 3 yr old imac, he said he didn't use it much because he had another keyboard.
Gave him $20 with shipping. It's on it's way.

I have this and it's great. Very nice and thin. Types similar to the old macbook pros. For $30 it's a steal. Got mine for the same price after a $30 rebate.
Not as bright as the macbook pro but plenty bright
