Hi,

I traded for some wireless ADB keyboards (until then unknown to me) with a 
company overseas that needed several Powerbook G3s. I received ten of them, with 
some other things.

The keyboards are new and still wrapped in plastic & boxed. The have NO MAKE 
on them; I remember I chased down the make + model number one time, but it 
escapes me now. They each come in a box with the keyboard, a pass-thru ADB 
connector and two AAA batteries for the keyboard.

I use one on my OS 8.1 7500/G3, and the other on my OS 9.1 6400/G3. Both work 
very well. Instead of a mouse, the keyboards have a "scrollable" dial that 
moves the mouse. It takes some getting used to, but it works dependably. 
Keystrokes are good, and the keyboard is very light and portable.

The minuses? Well, they cannot turn on any Mac. Also, you have to be sure it 
is the 1st thing installed on the ADB chain. Finally, using a television 
remote interferes with it, and makes the mouse cursor go to the top left corner. 
But I'll bet that is indicative of wireless keyboards...

If anyone is interested in one let me know.

Thanks,

Craig W.
