Indeed! I'm actually typing this through an iMate right now on
an Extended Keyboard II, which is still the best keyboard I can
find for the Mac (issues with the "out" key combination
notwithstanding). You can usually find them a lot cheaper for
"Buy It Now" sale on eBay, too.
But yes, I'm talking about something to convert modern USB HID
devices into ADB keyboards and mice (and joysticks, if I can
get my act together) since I hate trawling eBay looking for
old keyboards which may or may not be broken, covered in sticky
nicotine residue, etc. Also so I can use a USB KVM between
both my classic Macs and my PC. Should be a one-chip solution
with modern ARM micros.

Is anyone here aware of a gizmo that will let me plug a USB mouse into an
ADB socket? I'm trying to come up with a way to shoehorn modern optical
mouse guts into a classic Macintosh mouse.
I was going to recommend one of these:
