Woops, sorry about that! The only Apple boards I've seen have been fine to use without a PCB!
You were probably thinking of lowpoly's mod of a vintage Macintosh keyboard. That one has other switches that were suspended on the plate.
BTW, that keyboard did not even talk ADB but some even older protocol, which made it worth converting
Reading the features it seems like Soarer's converter is re-mappable. Might be a better option for you.
Soarer's converter is for PC protocols (XT, AT, PS/2 and IBM terminal), it does not support ADB.
Hasu's converter has a function layer. You activate it by holding the Power key. The keymap is like the function layer on the HHKB with the numeric row for F1..F12, backspace becoming Del, \ becoming Ins and a HHKB-like star of arrow keys on the right side of the keyboard. The arrow keys become Home/End/PgUp/PgDn.
If you want to map it some other way, the source code is available.
BTW, I got myself a M0118 keyboard today (ISO version of the M0116). I did not think before that Alps could feel this nice.
