Anybody have a spare ADB keyboard they'd want to part with? I already have an ADB sound box to connect it to, and ADB mice cheaply abound.
It seems that the non-ADB ones are more popular. I just wanted to try out an ADB setup for my TurboColor pizza box (yes, it has the v74 ROM).

I don't have one to offer, but I'll weigh in on the ADB keyboard.
Imagine the feel of the cheapest keyboard you can go buy (I'm talking about one of the < $10 ones..)
Now cut a section roughly the width of the space bar out the bezel directly under the space bar, install a switch for the "Command" key, and replace the section of bezel. Remove the perfectly good keys for brightness, volume, and power, and replace them with half-sunken Skittle/M&M shapes, and you have the NeXT ADB keyboard!
:D
(good-hearted critique..)
If you've ever used a hockey-puck Apple mouse, you've just about experienced the ADB mouse.
