You will need an active adaptor (also called "protocol converter") from its ADB protocol to a modern computer that uses USB. There are three in the Wiiki but there might be more out there. An adaptor for a PS/2 keyboard will not work.
If you are connecting it to a classic Mac, you could use a "S-video" cable if you can't find an original grey Apple cable. Those have the same mini-DIN plugs.

If you're just looking to use it on an original system (an old Macintosh or an Apple IIgs) then you can use a standard s-video cable.

I'd recommend getting the Drakware converter. It costs about $10 more than the parts to make the converter yourself. You do need an ADB or S-Video cable to hook to the Drakware and a USB C cable to hook to whatever your computer uses. You can then use the keyboard on a Windows box or whatever.
