New here. But long time keyboard geek.

I'm getting into some of the old Apple keyboards and was curious if anyone had used any of the ADB to USB adapters on the market?

They run like $40 so I'd like to have some users opinions before purchasing.

Thanks

Uh yeah. Not personally though, still have an AEKII waiting to be awoken from the dead here.
Belkin made one, Griffin too; both expensive.
IF you can get a Teensy for cheap, that would be the most work yet cheapest and most rewarding method; geekhack has a wiki on that, can't remember who made that wicked thing.

Yes, Griffin Imate works well. Used it on a few Apples and on a Northgate Ultra Plus that had both ADB and PS2 connectors on it.

Now the HACK part of Geekhack appears to mean...

TIL that Phpbb, like Vbulletin, doesn't allow simple copy pasta of attachment images.

And why would you not mean that?
It avoids duplicate files, and it's just COPY and PASTE to make it so.
