What about teardrop shaped kind? Most I find are two wedge kind,
these all I have now, would like one.

More power to you!! None of this is like this in kingston, ontario, I
must buy up ADB Macs if cheap enough to get those ADB keyboards I
desire. Rarely locally, looks like I have to do it via Ebay, which
I'm unhappy with canadian/USA exhange rate.

When I visited rochester NY, I can buy all what I want on Macs parts
at local CR store which I regettably didn't! :-P Which I will not
have chance for long time since my only friend lived there moved out.

Oh, I favor deatchable for easier repair and transport. Also comes
out on the sides not on rear so I could shove the keyboard hard
against anything without putting a crimp on the wire that I always
do with peecee keyboards. That's product of my limited space and
move machines around frequently.

Tip: if you have iffy keyboard and mice that goes out with a wiggle
on ADB connectors, resolder the two connectors where pins goes
through circuit board. I did that on mine.
