The release of the first iMac in 1998 marked the transition from the use of ADB to USB in Appleās peripheral offerings. All Apple keyboards from the release of the first Macintosh until 1998 connected through this ADB port, and featured some shade of grey keycaps. ![]() Moving forward, Apple designed a proprietary port to be used in the Macintosh lines as well as newer Apple line computers called the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), which allowed for multiple peripherals to be daisy chained together. The Lisa saw the first Apple keyboard not integrated into the case of the computer, although it used a TRS port making it unique to the Lisa. These early Apple keyboards featured brown keycaps with white writing. Although the first Apple computer was sold as a bare PCB without the inclusion of a keyboard, the 1977 Apple II included a keyboard built into the case of the computer, while the Apple III saw the addition of a numerical pad. Apple has designed keyboards around its line of computers since the inception of the Apple line through the reign of the Macintosh. ![]()
