Apple USB (type 1) keyboard
« on: December 02, 2008, 03:51:56 PM »
Probably a bit over optimistic but no harm in asking I suppose.  Anyone got any of those old Apple keyboards (the one's that came with the original iMac, G3 Yosemite & G4 Graphite models)  They were a dinky little keyboard with nice light action and black keys! (don't like those white pro keyboards at all)!  Anyway would love to get my hands on 3 or 4 of them if anybody has them lying around unused.

Cheers.

Plug in any usb keyboard.

I was looking for those old type I USB K/B's if possible, but you know you may just have given me an idea, indeed a cunning plan!  The new Dell keyboards are almost an exact replica of those old Apple ones! Mmmm now I wonder..........

I have used dell keyboards in the macs before. I assume you have checked ebay on the issue, usually works for me.
