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.
"However, my view has changed in recent days. Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."
