AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026QuokkADB and HIDHopper ADBby Rabbit Hole Computing and Tech by Androda

Connects modern USB HID keyboards and mice to Macintosh computers through Apple Desktop Bus.

For this system (stated family): HIDHopper basic keyboard and mouse operation was tested on a beige Power Macintosh G3. The source does not identify the exact desktop, minitower, or all-in-one enclosure used.

HIDHopper Base, Base with USB Hub Hat, and Hub Hat-only selections could be added to the JCM cart on 2026-07-24. The assembled QuokkADB Rev. 2022g remained sold out, while its Raspberry Pi Pico Community Edition remained buildable. HIDHopper's Hub Hat requires external USB-C power, must be power-cycled between Macintosh starts, and can otherwise exceed the host's ADB power budget.
