I have about a dozen brand new (well, never used) Apple IIe Platinum keyboards from when Sun was clearing out stuff. It might be interesting to convert one or more of those into Mac Plus Keyboards. I haven't looked to see if they have a MC on board or just a switch matrix. From the look of the cable, I suspect it's just a switch matrix, but I'm not going on much evidence.

I know for certain that the plain IIe (not Platinum) keyboard is just a matrix. Pretty sure the IIe Platinum would be one as well, but I *believe* that the keypad buttons are on a separate matrix with a separate cable from the main keys, which is sort of odd.
