i have a few apple extended keyboard ii that are in good working shape. i have considered purchasing an adapter to use them with usb, because i can remember absolutely loving to use these keyboards.

just happened upon the community, and figured i’d ask. is it more worth it to get something to adapt one of these keyboards?

for reference, at home i have more than enough space on my desk for a keyboard. at work, i wouldn’t mind finding a nice mechanical keyboard, as i type often and a bad keyboard infuriates me to no end, haha.

I'm by no means a mech keyboard connoisseur. However, I own the Drop Entry and it's a solid keyboard. It's ten keyless (doesn't have number pad). It's also got a metal base, which is supposed to limit typing recoil (I'm a heavy fucking type). I like it. It fits in my laptop bag nicely and I can take it to the office.

Like all things, there are going to be a core group of people who hype up or nerd the fuck out over a given topic; mech keyboards are the same. At the end of the day, a keyboard won't be life changing, but it'll improve your quality of life a tiny bit BC of the amount of time you spend typing
