Hey guys, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but is the matias mini tactile pro mac only or can you use it with a PC?

It's made for Macs (though they are considering a PC version).

You can use it with Windows, but the Windows and Alt key places will be swapped unless you install a driver to make them normal.

Yeah it's technically a Mac keyboard but you can plug it in a PC and use it.  Like burz said you have to use a third party program like autohotkey or something to swap the window and alt key.  After that you might need to map a few key like insert, delete, print screen... Etc since Mac doesn't have those functions on their keyboard.

As for the PC version it's estimated to come out end I this year, so it's gonna be a long wait.  Kind of why I end up buying the Quiet Pro in the end  :P
