Does this keyboard work on non dell systems?

Before proceeding with a purchase of an Alienware TactX keyboard, I contacted Alienware tech support on the phone with this very same question. The answer was yes, it will work with other computer manufacturers PC's other than those made by Dell as long as you have a 64 bit Operating System ( 32 bit OS's are incompatible ). Dell simply bought out Alienware and attaches their brand name to Alienware peripherals. Ask yourself ... If Dell bought out Alienware, wouldn't it have been rather silly of them to make Alienware peripherals compatible with only Dell machines ?? That would have taken a huge chunk out of their potential product sales profit margin.

The truth is it does work. But you only get two zone lighting. One zone is the number key and one zone for the rest. Only on an Alienware do you get the full lighting effect. It was a let down in our house.

Honestly, I am not positive, but I use it on a Dell and it works fine. I use an adapter for the pin plug into a USB port. At times, I have had to unplug it and then plug it back in if it does not work. Bottom line, for me the comfort of this keyboard far outweighs the occasional inconvenience. Hope this helps.

I'd like to know if this works on Windows too. This keyboard looks awesome; I just don't need to Google component to it.

It may be Possible to use Logitech unifying receiver, because that is what this dell keyboard uses

Pretty much. The one thing to look is the interface on keyboard and mouse. Most Dell towers utilize USB connections (not PS2). Are your old components USB?

I don't know since I have a PC. Works well in mine and all I had to do was connect to my computer like any other keyboard.

Yes. Dell provides Windows 7 drivers for this model. I have downgraded several of these.

I don't know, i have windows 7. If it does work you wont regret the cheap purchase for a decent quality keyboard. If it doesn't you can probably send it back.

I believe it works with all E series laptops. You can go to dell website and see the specs

I purchased this part for E1505 which is same as the E6400 model. I did look up 6000 model online and it looks pretty much like the E1505. Therefore I believe your chances that it will work is good. I would buy it to try it. It doesn't cost all that much. I've had my keyboard for over a year now and it works pretty close to the original OEM keyboard from Dell.

It works in the BIOS so it acts as the base level acting as a physical keyboard so yes. I don't know if there is software for it.

it depends on your machine and machine type. if its a dell then no. though i have not tested it yet on a compaq machine but it wont work for dell

Yes, It works as long as you have a usb keyboard. I've used it with Mac, Dell, and Logitech keyboards and never had an issue.

Yes. Electronically this keyboard is the same as a $15 bargain keyboard. It has a windows layout but will work on any computer. The only thing you are paying for is quality of parts.
