Ermm, I'd say Tamam is the exact translation for OK.
Peki also means ok but it is usually used as reply to an obey or an request and it has other usages too like "well then".
- Yatagini yap! (make your bed)
- Peki

You can also use tamam here but peki here is suitable.

In a usage like this tamam is "usually" used:
-I'll be back in 10 minutes, ok?
- Ok

- 10 dakika icinde donecegim, tamam mi?
- tamam

- This is your room.
- ok.

- Burasi sizin odaniz.
- Tamam

Hadi is totally different. It means come on.


Now, here (in Lyon) I don't have turkish keyboard anymore and I use cafe and I write very slowly, I couldn't get used to it.

I think tamam just means "OK", peki is something like "well then, OK..", or "fair enough", and when you use hadi in the meaning of "OK", there is a connotation of allowance.. but I'm not so sure about the last one, it has much more OK-meanings than only that..
Someone enlighten us?

edit: the double click dictionary gives a couple of examples of the meaning of hadi for "OK".
