JX Vintage is retro computing royalty! My Commodore 64 Assembler arrived looking like it was plucked from a 1982 store shelf—pristine box, flawless manual, and memory map. The packaging was Fort Knox-level, ensuring everything arrived perfect. Their handwritten Thank You note, and bonus gifts added such a personal, joyful touch. Fast shipping, honest communication, and a clear passion for retro gear make them my go-to sellers. Highly recommend for any collector!

Item exactly as described. It arrived quickly. When I opened the box, a card in an envelope fell out. They wrote the most kind and sincere card about the purchase. They also included stickers, which my some loved. We will spend many hours playing as a family. And it takes me back to playing as a child. Excellent service, bonuses, reasonable price an d quick shipping. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

Best shopping experience I’ve had in a long time! These folks are the kindest and most courteous sellers on eBay! They sent me a personalized “thank you” card, which is way beyond expected. The item I bought was just as described and at a really good price -vs- other sellers. My item was packed with care and shipped professionally and quickly. I’ll definitely visit their store more often! Great sellers and great buying experience! Cheers!

Legacy Keyboard works well
This Mac keyboard was originally made for the Macs that came in flavors like Blueberry, Grape, Tangerine, etc. (probably the '90's). I use one of these old keyboards on my 2011 Mac Mini because the numeric keypad is easier to reach. The arrow keys are small, and near the right shift key. There is not a separate area for the arrow keys, making it easier to get to the numbers. I do a lot of music publishing, When creating sheet music, the number keys at the top and the ones at the side are used for different functions. There are 2 USB ports on the keyboard itself, and they used to work for certain flash drives. Since I upgraded to 10.11, I can only use the keyboard's USB ports for a mouse.

Not going to last
This is a used product - the original design is excellent - but it is used, not particularly clean - but the real problem is that the fixes were cosmetic and are starting to break down. I started having trouble with this product just a day or two in. Not going to last.

Nice keyboard, but has minor oddities.
I had recently bought one of these off of this site, and upon opening the box once it arrived, I figured a couple things out about this particular iMac keyboard. This is the keyboard that Apple would usually sell along with those old CRT iMac computers. While the design of the keyboard is really nice, it has some flaws. Any accidental tugging on the USB cord can end up pulling it out a bit too far (Doesn’t damage it really, but is really noticeable.) Also, if you ever had to open up the keyboard and didn’t know what you were doing, the plastic clips can break off. (They’re entirely made of plastic.) This became a problem for me, as all but one of the clips at the front of the keyboard were broken off, leaving the translucent bit of plastic loosely stuck onto the frame of the keyboard. ...

This became a problem for me, as all but one of the clips at the front of the keyboard were broken off, leaving the translucent bit of plastic loosely stuck onto the frame of the keyboard. If you plan on buying one of these, be aware that you might have to deal with this issue, as they aren’t that easy to break if you aren’t extremely careful with it while opening. Now onto the good parts. The keys type really well, but are non-standard to the other QWERTY keyboards found here in the US. The number pad is slightly changed around to add an equal key (Even though the enter key acts as the equal key on 99% of calculators). If you’re using this on a Windows computer, the equal key on the number pad won’t do anything unless you map it using 3rd party software (Which is what I did.) The power button is just a bit of plastic held in place by the front bit of plastic, and it does it’s job really. Although, if you aren’t using a Mac, it will not do anything. With that said, the key itself is completely mappable, so you can make it do pretty much anything you want, so treat it like an extra key. As for the Caps/Number/Scroll lock keys... The Caps Lock key has a green LED on it which lights up when Caps Lock is on. (Obviously) The Number Lock key, however, doesn’t have an LED, which is really odd in my opinion. There is no Scroll Lock key anywhere on this keyboard. One thing I should mention here is that not only does this keyboard use a standard USB cable, but it has 2 USB passthrough ports on it, for use with any other devices (Mouse, flashdrive, etc), and while I haven’t tested the speeds it can give, it works perfectly with a mouse. (I tested it with the iMac “Hockey Puck” mouse that matched the keyboard.) So overall, this keyboard is pretty neat, and does the job if needed as a day-to-day keyboard. Pros: Full fledged keyboard, USB passthrough, nice design (exterior), usable Power Button Cons: USB cable can be damaged if tugged, plastic clips can break easily. Overall, I give this a 4/5 Stars. A keyboard with benefits.

High nostalgic value, buy for looks, but look elsewhere if you need to type a lot
It's cute, compact and perfectly compliments the look of many early-00s Apple machines, but those rubber-dome buttons are somewhat mushy, and not to everyone's taste. This one have two USB1.1 ports on it, so you can and shall plug your mouse into one of them. Don't try to use those ports for storage, though. All in all, in good clean condition, for ~$30 shipped — it's a good buy. But more of a collector's item.It's cute, compact and perfectly compliments the look of many early-00s Apple machines, but those rubber-dome buttons are somewhat mushy, and not to everyone's taste.
