Apple Mac BCGM3501 Keyboards
« on: Tue, 28 January 2014, 04:39:45 »
I found a quite cheap BCGM3501 to sell, these are ALPS but use the ADB connector, is there anyway to connect it to a PC ?
Or could it be a good deal to get it for the switches and keycaps ?
ALPS seems to be cream or salmon ones.

The US version of the 3501 has dampened cream Alps which many people love. You will need an ADB-to-USB adapter such as the Griffin iMate which usually sells for about $25 and is worth keeping around for use with old Apple gear.
