Can I use this with my Windows laptop even though it says it's for Mac? (I have a Dell XPS 2-in-1). If so, can I switch between Windows and Apple devices when using? Thanks! null

I tested this keyboard with my HP laptop running Windows X and it worked great. Even the Apple Command key worked as the Windows key. The media control keys worked fine as well.

yes, the keyboard is laid out for apple users is all. It uses Bluetooth so anything Bluetooth will connect to it.

Yes, you can but keep in my mind since this model the keyboard layout is made to tailored Apple devices. The control key and and function keys are swapped and if you used the control key a lot for office work this might pose a slight problem. Unless you want this model for the color the black version layout could suit your needs better.

K380 is Bluetooth enabled and will work just fine for either Windows or Mac systems. Using the easy switch 1-2-3 buttons on the top row you'll be able to switch between 3 Bluetooth enabled devices.

Yes. However, the issue would be the keyboard layout. The K380 layout is optimized for Apple products. There is no “Backspace” key and several of the keys are labelled differently. (Cmd and Opt for example). If you can live with those differences, it does seem to work in the brief test I just performed on my HP notebook.
