I need a gaming keyboard for my mac but the only ones I can find are for Windows, there is no Command button or FN button. Any suggestions?

So, I have an OS X 10.7.5 and I want to get a gaming keyboard, but the only good ones I can find are for windows. I know because they have the Windows home key button, and no FN button or Command button. Any suggestions?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Normally, most Windows-compatible keyboards are also compatible with Mac OS X. If I'm not mistaken, the Windows key (the key with the Windows icon) is the command key. Also, if you do need to use the F1-F12 keys as standard function keys (you would normally hold FN and then press the button), you can set them to standard function keys in System Preferences. There may be some good gaming keyboards on the market that use the Mac layout, but most may use a Windows keyboard. Personally, I prefer the Mac keyboard on my Macbook. I hope this helps!
