Here is a list of ADB keyboards that I have compiled.
Additions/corrections welcome.

I have the following that work:

AppleDesign Keyboard ($85-90)
Apple Extended Keyboard II ($155-160)
Adesso 105 Extended Keyboard ($80 - Mac's Place, MacZone, Tiger SW)
Adesso 102 Extended Keyboard w/ Trackball [Trackball does NOT work]
     ($100 - Mac's Place, MacZone, Tiger Software)
Key Tronic MacPro Plus ($130 - MacZone, APS Tech.)
OptiMac Extended Keyboard (???)
PowerUser 105E Extended Keyboard ($70 - MacWarehouse)
SIIG, Inc MacTouch Model 1905 (~$100.00)
Sun OmniMac Ultra [extended, ADB type] (???)
Suntouch ADB Extended Keyboard ($75 - Syex Express)
VividKey Extended Keyboard ($60 - MacMall)

Do not work:

Apple Adjustable Keyboard
MicroSpeed Keyboard Deluxe MAC

???:

ClubMac Extended Keyboard ($59 - ClubMac)
Datadesk MAC 101 E ($100 - MacWarehouse, MacZone)
Datadesk TrackBoard ($100 - MacWarehouse, MacZone)
Interex 105 Extended (70 - MacMall, Syex Express)
Key Tronic Trak Pro Plus ($230 - APS Tech.)

And I guess I should add the MacALLY extended as one that does not
work.
