Here's the distinct Macintosh Portable keyboards I have that are on my Macintosh Portables. One of them had the mouse replaced with a keypad (they were interchangeable). The other thing you could do with the keyboard is swap the keyboard/mouse and have the mouse (or keypad) on the left instead of on the right. Very cool design.

Here are the pics of the three distinct ones I have (A, B and C). Note all three keyboards have different color switches

Ha, its the Apple Alps palette. Very nice. Those orange sliders look more orange than the ones in my Wang 725-3770, possibly just your pics.

So the Portable followed the same path as the AEK's, neat

From very light salmon to orange, nice. Do they feel any different tho? I'm guessing it's the same switch, just more colouring in the platic?

Wow. that orange is really rich

Three different switches. The cream one I'm guessing is cream damped, as regular cream is a paler, less saturated shade.

Interestingly the machine came out in 1989, the year everything changed.

What is the keycap profile? Regular apple or something else?

Considering I just bought one of these, this is very valuable info, thanks! Fingers crossed for oranges.

Great photos! I like your stacked/staggered pictures showing the three different switch types in one shot.
