Anyone had/have one of these?

I found this at Goodwill quite a while ago and had to have it because it’s actually a clicky keyboard! Not sure what switches they are, but it’s most certainly clicky.

Bit smaller than a genuine Apple Extended Keyboard (which was another lucky Goodwill find some years ago).

As far as the feel, I don’t like it “better” than the real AEK, but I’d say it’s almost just as good. Everyone who’s used a real AEK knows how nice they are! 
 

Just thought I’d share this, and would love to hear your thoughts on this keyboard if you’ve ever used one.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time... didn't they make everything from PhoneNet adapters and Bernoulli drives to actual, full, Motorola-sub-licensed clone systems?

I guess the real test would be if you can clear PRAM with it :lol:  my PowerComputing-branded ADB keyboard can't... among other things.

That’s interesting. Don’t know if this keyboard has that problem or not. Perhaps I’ll try that eventually.

Even with crappier 2-key rollover keyboards, they sometimes separate the modifier keys from the rest.  So you can still do modifier + modifier + key + key.  Sometimes they don't.
