Macs have used two different types of keyboard connectors. (Well, actually three, if you go waayyyy back to the original 128K and 512K models. I'll ignore these.)
The older types used ADB connectors. They are round with pins inside a metal shield. This connector is not the same as the circular serial keyboard connector you'll see on older PCs. I've got several ADB keyboards in my garage gathering dust and I'd could be easily convinced to part with one.
All recent Macs have used industry-standard USB connectors. Any USB keyboard will work, although most do not have the labels for the special Apple keys, so you'll have to experiment to see where the equivalent key lives. (Try the alt key first.)
