Newton keyboard would not work - it has a serial plug.

There is a company that makes really small adb keyboards, some with built in
track balls, and including some meant for children (85% size) -
MacWharehouse always carried them.

Otherwise, the smallest ADB keyboard Apple ever made was the AppleIIGS
keyboard - the first ADB device the ever made - it has and alpha pad and a
numeric keypad and no border 0 the keys go right to the edge of the board.
So look at your current keyboard and imagine that it was no bigger than the
area of the keys with the numeric bumped right against the alpha. Has the
standard power key, and it has the apple keys, control is in a funky place
but otherwide it is normal and has a great feel. Sort of heavy though - they
built things well back then!
