Quick question before I purchase. I found the Microsoft version of this awesome keyboard locally and wanted to know if it will still function under osx. I prefer the black colour as well as its a great price.
 
Yeah almost any Windows-centric keyboard will function on OS X. The only thing you'll have to get used to is the throw-off positioning of using the Windows key as your Command key.
 
I currently use a Windows keyboard on my Mac right now. Everything works, things just map differently.

Windows Keyboard ---> Mac Key

Ctrl --> control
Windows --> option
alt --> command
 
I too love this keyboard. I was concerned because some past reviews mentioned that the battery dies after a few months. But I love it so much I'm in the marker for another one.
But bottom line is...

SPILL DEAL! Where are you finding the great price.

Well I got it home yesterday and the battery was dead. Left it charging and right now I'm using it! at 67% currently but still charging. Thank you for all the responses everyone, you were correct.

As for the deal, $20.
