Old Apple keyboard on ebay

Not in the best of condition, but the price is not too bad. Probably worth it for a project.

If this has the orange Alps, you could harvest them for under $0.50 each.

If you're just interested in harvesting switches this auction might be a good one to watch.  It has three Apple Alps keyboards and one rubber dome and free shipping.

The seller is lying. That is not an Apple Extended Keyboard, but a Apple M011A. It was the second keyboard for the Apple Macintosh. It has some vintage linear switches made by Alps, that are not compatible to the common Alps SKCL/SKCM.

It does not even talk ADB, but some proprietary protocol. Hasu has made a converter, Lowpoly is known around here for having converted the predecessor to this one (the M0110) to USB (having chucked the PCB).

For that cheap, I have a desire to 'lowpoly' it - but I know I wouldn't like the layout when I was finished.
