Hey!!!!  It's not el-cheapo.  :-)  I have it, it's called standard
keyboard II.  Believe it or not, I actully like the layout very
much.  ESC is right by the space bar, which feels akward at first, but
now I believe it's in the most convinent spot ever!
 
I wouldn't trade this keyboard for anything...

Yuck! I left mine atached to my Classic. They deserve ach other. :)

I also have the CuttingEdge extended keyboard, which has the exact same
layout as the Apple extended keyboard.  It works just fine.

I've got an OptiMac on my ROM 01 GS with a PCT, and the Apple Extended
Keyboard II on my ROM 3 GS. Both work fine with each other, but I prefer
the Apple one because it's quiet and it looks nice.

It doesn't work with Eric's KeyNotifier CDev though.  :-|  (but I don't
like this keyboard much anyway...)  PCT's PC mode can use the functions
, and the lights work in PC mode too!

Hey what' this KeyNotifier? Can someone post it to cba2 for us poor
fellows without FTP capabilities?
 
 
Kimagure at heart...
