Pardon my asking, but what models of ADB 'boards were conking out on you? I'd like to know so I can avoid them. If you're on a quest for a long-lasting keyboard, I highly recommend the old IBM Model M's. Someone said, "Essentially, if you don't take to one of these things with a hammer, it'll probably outlast you, even if you spend all day, every day, typing." No joke; try one and see for yourself. There are adapters out there that will allow you to use these PS/2 connector keyboards with your Mac. Once you've typed on one of these, you'll wonder why you ever tolerated the mushy, weak-a55 "rubber dome"-switch devices that today's manufacturers pass off as "keyboards."
