This was done last year and most people went for the Extended or the one that came with the IIgs. I'm at odds with most and prefer the same one that you do.

Why exclude the Apple Extended Keyboard II (M3501)? Several folks on here, myself included, think it's the best ever.

I didn't mean to, I was making this poll at about 3 in the morning.

NOTE: If a mod reads this, could you add the Apple Extended Keyboard II to the poll, thanks.

As nice as the extended keyboard (either I or II) feels, I do have one gripe about it--the size. The original Apple ADB keyboard is a pretty well-kept secret--it has the same great feel as the extended keyboard but doesn't take up as much room. Count me in as a vote for the small keyboard. I do like the IIGS keyboard as well. Apple's current keyboards aren't bad either.

A9M0330 - Apple IIGS keyboard - for 'small workspace' vintage computing use.

M1242 - Apple Adjustable keyboard (with extension) - for 'sufficient workspace' vintage computing use.

A1255/A1314 - 'compact' Bluetooth keyboard - for modern computing use.

 
I bought an iMate today so I could use the Apple Extended Keyboard II with my MacBook, i think it will feel 10x better, plus I love the sound

Might as well throw in a mention for the Apple Pro Keyboard which is one of the better dome keyboards in my opinion.

Extended II!!!

I still use mine daily with my MacBook Pro at home through an ADB-USB adapter (kind of a generic iMate hub-style). I just love its sound! But for actual typing, my all-time favorite is the PowerBook 1400 keyboard.
