I don't know what it is, but I won some sort of site drawing for an
Apple accessory, but not an Apple- branded one. It is on its way from
Shenzhen on the Chinese mainland. Probably a device charger or cable(s).

Appleseeds from China. Plant them and see what develops.

As it turns out, it is a clickety-click keyboard, I think.

I have a pretty good selection of keyboards here and I really like the
feel of the old IBM Type M but the clicky thing makes my wife nuts so
I use a back lit soft key Logitech most of the time. I am also getting
pretty used to wireless so cords tend to irritate me. My keyboard is
usually in my lap and the mouse runs on the arm of my chair.

I've got three hardly ever used Apple issue keyboards, wired and
bluetooth, sitting in a drawer. I still prefer keyboards that kind of
remind me of an IBM Selectric typewriter. Mostly, I used "clacky" and
cheap MacAlly keyboards. If the incoming keyboard is a clacky clunky
type, I'll give it a serious whirl.


I can send you a model M if your Apples can handle a real PS/2
keyboard. That is the original buckling spring keyboard IBM gave
people who were moving from Selectrics.

I bought an industrial grade Cherry for my wife. It would tolerate a
spilled cup of coffee. Run it under the shower, let it dry and rock
on. It's around here somewhere I think. I have about 2 dozen keyboards
here.

I doubt it would work, even if a connector adapter could be found. The
key maps are different and without a way to remap them, you'd not get it
to work.

Apple won't let you remap a keyboard? I doubt the protocol is that
much different tho. Didn't we all steal it from Xerox or something?
A mouse and a keyboard use the same Com spec. The cable on a Model M
is plug in so it is easy to swap.
