USB Keyboard

[Sanek]

Hi!
Didn't know where to post this question, but here it goes:

Which USB keyboards work in Mac os 9 (G4)?
Will silver thin apple keyboard work?

Thanx!

Pretty much all of them.

Yes.

[Sanek]

Nice! Thanx!

the thin aluminum ones from the intel mac age work fine but the eject button will not work on these keyboards when used with a g4.. but u can use toast's software menu to eject the cd.

Another trick with the "CD Eject" thing is to simply set a function key to launch either the Apple "CD Upper eject" or "CD Lower eject" programs located in the "Apple Extras" in OS 9. 

so even with a tower with 2 optical drives you can quickly and easily open each tray via a function key no matter what apple keyboard you have.

Hope that helps

That sounds like a nice 'trick'...Thanks DieHard.

I didn't think those KB's worked with the older macs, learn something new every day.  Too bad my TiBook, G3 clamshell or G3 iMac don't have blue tooth . . .    I don't have any of the cabled ones . . .

u can still buy the wired keyboards from any apple store as far as i know
they cost around 40 bucks  i think
