Since 1997. Any USB peripheral will work on a Mac.

Just about any USB or Firewire peripheral will work on a Mac just by plugging it in.

For quite a while now. Mac will support any USB mouse or keyboard (or printer for that matter).

Nice, huh? I am the proud owner of 5 Macs (a lot of years) ... and Republican. :)

Since about 1998... with the May 6th roll out of the Bondi Blue iMac with USB ports.

PC peripherals with a mac? Most do - My Canon i860 printer, Epson scanner, HP 960c printer, my Logitech M700 wireless mouse, Logitech keyboard, additional USB 2.0 card, SanDisk 14-in-1 media reader, The LiteOn DVD+/DVD-/CD-R/CD-RW burner, Panasonic MiniDV camcorder, My Fuji FinePix S3000 camera, and additional hard drives all were non-PC specific - and work with my mac seamlessly.

Oh, I forgot - my Motorola V720 wireless phone syncs with my Mac's address book using iSync - a standard (and free) bit of Apple software.

So yes, many supposedly "PC" peripherals work just fine with a Mac.
