Using a USB keyboard for tablets?

The post title says it all, really.
For a school project, I am making a RPi laptop. I have everything sorted except for the keyboard, so I was looking at these on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_nos ... yboard+usb

I'm using a 10.1" LCD panel from an old laptop, so these keyboards would probably be the right size if I removed the 'leather' case of those products.
They use USB but they're intended for Android or iOS... so do you think I could use them with the RPi?

Thanks for any help,

PandaMan

I haven't tried them, but I imagine they'd work very well. I'm tempted to get one myself...
