Does anyone know? I haven't turned anything up, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
 
Seriously?

For God's sake, can anyone answer this simple question for me?
 
Before posting, you should have asked yourself a couple of simple questions.

Q: When does Apple release Boot Camp driver updates?
A: With new versions of Boot Camp.

Q: Has Apple released a new version of Boot Camp between the release of the new keyboard and now?
A: Yes.
 
I'm not using Boot Camp. I have a KVM switch between my Mac and my PC.
 
If this helps at all, I run parallels on my mac, and have not problems with the new mac keyboard while working in the program....
 
under bootcamp I have no problems what so ever with my new apple aluminum keyboard (wired edition)...not so sure how it is when you plug the keyboard in to an ordinary pc though.
can you burn a bootcamp driver cd and install it on a regular pc?
then you might have the keyboard drivers and it could work (given that the keyboard doesn't without any drivers).

Q: Do I sound like a jerk?
A: absotively posilutely.

Q: Do I have any idea what I'm talking about consider the OP said nothing about using bootcamp and was pretty obviously (at least to me) using a PC not a Mac?
A: Not even the remotest...
 
Try plugging the keyboard directly into your PC. The new apple keyboard works fine with PCs I think, the problem is actually the KVM switch in most cases. Mine doesn't even work on my mac through the KVM. Pretty big pain to say the least - for now, I've just got a separate keyboard for my PC, and that's what I'll use until I can confirm for certain that a given KVM actually works with the keyboard.
