Yes, all the ADB keyboards Apple sells work with the GS (3rd-party ADB
keyboards generally work with the GS too, but I recall vaguely there is an
exception...so try before you buy).

The extra keys on the Apple Extended Keyboard show up as lowercase letters
on the "keypad", as far as Apple IIgs software is concerned.  Most software
doesn't do anything special with those keys, but Macro programs may be able
to remap them into useful things for you.

Does anybody know of macro utilities with support for the extra keys on an
Apple Extended Keyboard?
