One issue with the new G3's and ADB keyboards (from
http://www.macosrumors.com/)...

"Apparently, Yosemite's ADB is a bit of an afterthought (as mentioned
several weeks ago, Apple considers this a device for Colorsync
compatibility and little else). As a result, Yosemite users have noticed a
slight lag in keying with an ADB keyboard. Although this does not seem to
noticeably lag a mouse, it prevents normal use of an ADB keyboard for most."
