Macs don't have PS2 ports. With the older Macs, there was ADB. The model M type Apple Extended Keyboards worked with ADB.
Apple killed ADB and went to USB. There was much weeping and gnashing of teeth. People bought ADB to USB cables to keep using the old scissor action keyboards. OSX came along, and in time, these options all failed. You had to have a USB keyboard. And there was rending of the garments and the scraping of the body with potshards. For a while, no good keyboards. No offense, but the current Apple offerings SUCK. And the squishy keyboards offered with the iMacs and G3s and G4s... Oh GAWD. The PAIN. It was like typing in quicksand.
People offered alternatives. Some cheap, some expensive. Some, like the stainless steel board, were beautiful beyond compare, and were offered to Mac users, who tend to have disposable income. While the keyboard did work with Windows based peecees, you needed a USB port to make it work. No PS2 port.
They also offered a matching stainless steel mouse with steel flexi cable. That was around 250 I think. Optical. Had a USB powered hand heater inside so the stainless steel would never feel chilly in your grasp. Had a removable plastic base in the 5 lifesaver iMac colours, and when lit, looked pretty damn cool. The mouse buttons were scissor action to for satisfactory feedback during clicking.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
