Hi everyone, I'm looking for a keyboard for a Macintosh SE. Preferably the original one. Thanks to all in advance!

There was no 'standard' Mac SE keyboard as such; the manual states that no keyboard was included, customers had to choose and buy their own from whatever Apple was offering at the time. Maybe you mean the small, low-end "Apple Keyboard" that a good deal of SE owners had bought?
Ah, alright. Thanks for letting me know. I'm sorry, I'm very very new to owning a Mac, so I was going on the basis of what sort of keyboard was attached to the computer in most of the pictures I've seen of them. I think what I'm looking for is this:

which, I think, is the same as this:

I want to buy the first one from top micro usa but I'm not sure yet if it comes with a cord, or if that cord is ADB (I sent an email to them last night). I found it after I posted the question though, which was embarassing because I was certain I'd looked everywhere.
That is an ABD keyboard. If you have an ADB cable alredy it'll work fine. Old ADB keyboards are alomost a dime-a-dozen, so don't pay more than a few dollars for one.
Thank you very much for the help! The one at top micro is a bit pricey ($19.99), so I'll keep looking. Plus, I need to go find a cable.
I have one of those keyboards. I got it when I bought my first Mac, a Classic II with 4MB of RAM and a whopping 40MB SCSI hard drive.
I don't have the Classic II anymore. Although, I find myself on many occasions wishing that I did. I really liked that little Mac. It was the Classic II that got me hooked on the Mac.
Anyway, I found that particular keyboard to be very good for typing. I really liked the feel of it. Not that this little rant will help you in locating the keyboard that you're after, but I think that you're making a good keyboard choice for your SE.
I think I just found one at DigitalDinos.com
The last time I used one of these was in 8th grade (I can't remember what the Mac was, but it was a compact one), but yeah, I really enjoyed typing with it. They are great
