Mac cufflinks

6 new pairs of MAC keyboard cufflinks added to the GEEKWARE store today!

The Command key, also historically known as the Apple key or open-Apple key, has taken many forms over the years. 

The cufflinks above showcase the evolution of the Command key, from the Apple IIe released in 1983, to the controversial removal of the Apple symbol in the 2007 redesign.  (The removal of the symbol triggered a storm of protests by Apple aficionados, who felt that a unique design feature of the Macintosh was being dropped without a compelling need.)

Can you guess which pair of MAC cufflinks is made from the oldest keys, and which is the most recent?

    I think the square pair in the faded yellow is the oldest pair. The thin ones are newest.
