024- How can I improve the feel of my original (beige-
key) IIc keyboard?
You can improve the feel by removing the black rubber mat. This is a spill-
guard; but, people complained it hindered their typing so it was removed in next
generation IIc's. You can safely remove yours by just lifting it up; it's
attached by a few drops of glue.
Some people claim typing is even further improved if you remove the small
metal clips in between each key stem (these produce a click sound when you
type). You can reverse all this if you do it carefully, I did myself.

025- Can I replace my broken GS mouse with one from a
Mac?
Yes, if it is a Macintosh ADB mouse. The "teardrop" ADB Mouse II that comes
on newer Macs works great on the IIGS and can be found for a few bucks in Mac
for-sale groups. Third party ADB mice should work too.
Note: Mice for Mac Plus and before are not ADB so won't work. Mice for the new
iMac won't work because they are for the USB interface.

026- What is the pinout for the IIe, //c, Laser and
similar 9-pin mouses?
The IIe/IIc/Mac Plus mouses can plug into the //c or IIc+ Game/Mouse Port
or, on a IIe, into the 9-pin socket of a Mouse Card. When plugged into the //c
or IIc+, several Game Port pins are redefined for use with a mouse.
