Using Logitech Wave Keyboard on Mac OS X?

Hi,
I'm a total newbie to Mac OS X and Mac in general. I'm a very experienced PC user, so I know the terms and stuff.

I recently got an iMac and started software development with X-Code. Everything worked fine, but now I just did not get along with the design of the apple keyboard (e.g. location and combinations for [ ] { } and @). Since like half the time when developing with Objective-C you need those suckers, this get's pretty boring.
So I installed the Logitech drivers and attached my Logitech Wave Keyboard in the hope, it would use the (for me) normal mapping. But of course, it didn't.

So, do any of you know any hack, patch, driver, whatever, which will allow me to use my Logitech Wave (Windows Layout) Keyboard with its layout as it's meant to be?

Like: either STRG+ALT+7 for { or ALT + 7 or anything like that?

Greetings, AlwaysSpam
 
This will be somewhat easy to do. Plus you will get your countries flag in the menu bar; :)

Open System Preferences->Language & Text and choose the tab 'Input sources' and click the box for 'Keyboard & Character Viewer'. Then scroll the column down and put a check mark in your Country's Flag. Also open System Preferences->Keyboard and turn on the "Show Keyboard & Character Viewer in menu bar". Then your Flag will appear in the menu bar. From click on the flag you can choose "Show Keyboard Viewer" so you can see what key mapping is happening when you press a key.

Now I use an older Logitech wired mouse and I am current using the Logitech Control Center. I just have to watch OSX new Update before using this control center. It is currently stable my 10.6.x (Mac Pro) but your mileage may very.
