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, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
