Apple stuffs are always overpriced in Malaysia. I'm getting mine from Singapore and I'm using a PC. Yes it does work with PC but not the special mac keys. I have the new keyboard's predecessor and it's working superbly. I got the older keyboard from US. A good 10-20% cheaper than in Malaysia.

EDIT: There's no 'Insert' key and there's no print screen button. Same with the old apple keyboard but you can always remap some other keys (the extra goody F13-F19) for those functions. I've remapped the printscreen button to F13 so it remains the same place as a 'normal' keyboard for PC. I've also made the volume keys work! Sweet!
The only two buttons I couldn't remap (yet) is the eject button and the 'fn' button because there is no scancode detected for them. Would love to get them working but if I can't do it, it's still a sweet keyboard anyway. I'll just remap one of the remaining 'idle' F-keys for them.
Using the new one to type now on my dell laptop! Damn sleek. I'm going to bet it would be an ass to clean though. =/ Not sure if the keys can be pried out cos they're damn shallow.
I got mine at SGD78 which is around RM179 only from Singapore. Hurray Singapore! Boo Apple Malaysia!
It's also smaller than I thought it would be. Thinner than I thought it would be. Nice to type but probably not everybody will dig this kind of touch.

On the contrary. I think they rather complement each other, so that makes them either beast and the beast or beauty and the beauty. Pick one.
