I would like to use one of the new colorful iMac keyboards on my Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White), is there any reason not to do this?

Products Affected

Power Mac

Apple has made slight modifications to the Blueberry version specifically for the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White). As such, to avoid any possible issues with earlier keyboards, you should only use the Blueberry keyboard which shipped with your Power Macintosh G3.

Documented below are three revisions to the USB keyboard which Apple has shipped to date:
  • The first keyboard was the original Bondi Blue keyboard which shipped with iMac. It should only be used on the original iMac.
  • The second revision includes four of the five keyboards shipping with the new iMac 266; Strawberry, Tangerine, Lime, and Grape. These keyboards should be used only with iMac.
  • The third revision is the Blueberry keyboard which ships with both the iMac 266, and the Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White). It can be used on any iMac or Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White).
