Apple Adjustable Keyboard Review

So, this is my review of 1992 keyboard originaly sold for 220$. I got it for free on craigslist.

Build quality:

Great, what you would expect from someting this old. better than most new stuff.

Fetures:

Well, it breaks in half in the middle and can be adjusted to any angle. Look at google pics to see what im talking about (cant post pics, computer is broken, typing this on imac g4)

This feture really works. huge wrist wrests make this thing an ergonomic dream.

Seperate num/f1-f15 pad, can be put on either side.

Feel:

feels really good, uses Alps Switches (SKFS)

Feels kinda like brown, but more tactile. Quieter than reds bottoming out due to a rubber sheet across entire keyboard acting of a O ring of sorts.

I havent actualy plugged it in, need adapter. Overall, great keyboard.

Sorry for spelling, typing on terible imac g4 keybord.

On that second piece (the one with the arrows and num pad) are those function keys on the left? That's an interesting placement

Heck! That's quite an old and un-aesthetically pleasing Apple keyboard, but great review overall. :)

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.
