(Checked on a running Debian 6 "Squeeze" system on amd64)

In short: both Microsoft Keyboards use usbhid, whereas the Mac one
uses hid_apple.

(with "Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 USB Keyboard for PC -
LATAM layout")
$ lsmod|grep hid
usbhid                 33292  0
hid                    63225  1 usbhid
usbcore               122034  5 uvcvideo,usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd

(after unplugging that keyboard and plugging the Mac one)
$ lsmod|grep hid
hid_apple               4594  0
usbhid                 33292  0
hid                    63225  2 hid_apple,usbhid
usbcore               122034  5 uvcvideo,usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd

Note: when I unplug the Mac keyboard and plug the other MS keyboard
(Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000 USB keyboard  for PC - FR_BE
layout), the list remains the same.
