Does anyone know how to convert this?

I have a blue alps keyboard and I would like to convert it to usb or ps/2.
Does anyone know how to convert this?

What connector is at the other end of the plug originally attached there? That picture just shows a totally generic connector, without any surrounding context that might give us a clue.

It’s probably XT or AT protocol, but it also might be some kind of terminal board, or who knows what.

Sorry, I should have included that.

If that is AT, you can just use an AT to PS/2 adaptor - they use the same protocol.

Then you can use a PS/2 to USB adaptor.

But if it is XT, or something else, you will need a convertor.

There way be a switch on the back or internally to convert it to AT or XT. Look at the PCB and back of the case.

If not, hook it up to soarer's adapter. IT can convert either (though AT to USB converters are plentiful commercially) and has a number of useful features.

Wait, is that what that switch on the back was for?
This is great! Thanks!
