    Hey Gang,

    Will the above devices work under Parrallels with win XP?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    The keyboard works for me no problem, it actually makes the Windows experience better because of the extra keys.

    Ditto that. We have them for all of our non-laptop Apple machines. We have no wired keyboards in use by any staff.

    I am using the Apple bluetooth keyboard and the BlueTake BT-510 running Windows XP on 3188. Works just fine. The BT-510 is rather jerky though - but that is a problem on Mac OS regardless of whether I run Parallels or not

    I use the Apple Mightymouse Bluetooth on Bootcamp XP, and have never had any problems.

    EDIT: Oops. Also in Parallels. No problems.

    Ditto all the other posts; the only additional piece to add is that the scroll ball on the wireless BT Mighty Mouse works as a scroll wheel only. Left-to-right or 360 degree scrolling isn't supported by the Parallels Tools mouse driver.
