Will the Mac keyboard work on a windows computer through USB?

I have a university examination where I have permission to bring my own keyboard so long as it plugs in through a USB cable. I am a MacBook Pro user and therefore want to replicate that as best as is possible. Could anyone tell me for certain whether the keyboard will work through USB (not bluetooth) on a Windows desktop? Thanks for you time.

All the alphabetical and numeric keys work without issue. Spacebar and shift work as expected. The Control key works as expected.


You may find that Alt/Option and Command/Windows keys are transposed, or functions shuffled around a bit. Some simple experimentation will sort that out.
