Found this morning for 5 euros, a boxed Apple wireless keyboard.

Was not working at the first place (corroded batteries) managed to clean the mess and provide good contact all round, posting with it right now... a real improvement for me.

I also been given a nice mug, apparently original item, old stock, really nice.

Always nice to get your hands on a deal. I really like the mug! =)

thanks Steve.

Edit: the enclosure seems to be a no worker, but the disk is working (500 Gb) 

🙂

NICE swag!

What's with the funky lookin' Enter key? I've seen that on a German Language Duo KBD, a French/Canadian Duo(?) KBD and now on a French(?) KBD. Is there some extra key or specific arrangement of keys needed for languages over there that makes for the (unsightly-YMMV) disruption of the KeyPad's lines? It reminds me of something tacked on as an afterthought.

Well, definitively a french "AZERTY" keyboard, my wife has exactly the same, supplied new with her Imac a couple of years ago.

Nice mug !

And 5 € for that keyboard , that's less than the plastic chinese copy I bought !

Probably less than the cardboard box it was supplied with cost in the first place !!

Well, the M and £ keys are in the middle row... I guess they are squeezing out the place where the Return key should be!

I always love seeing alternate key layouts.  I have a Japanese keyboard I learned to type on, so it is very difficult to use standard US fare. I always carry a Japanese layout with me!
