True, the Videx keyboard enhancers really make life more pleasant on Apple
II's and II+'s.  But before buying an Enhancer, check to make sure it will
work with your keyboard!  Apple II's and early Apple II+'s, generally
Revisions 0 through 6, had a one piece keyboard circuit board, rather than
the two-piece board the Videx Enhancer II needs to attach.  Videx makes
(the original) "Keyboard & Display Enhancer" for the pre-revision 7
keyboards, and while this provides a very nice, fully functional keyboard,
it does not give some of the extra features available on the Enhancer II.
Notably, the original K&D Enhancer does not have a type-ahead buffer, and
it does not allow for programmable function keys.  (The original is also
hard to find, though it can be ordered from Videx in Corvallis, OR.)
