Title: PS2 keyboard advice in 2021
Post by: BeastOfSoda on Sat, 10 July 2021, 13:50:48

Hello, I am new to the forum and I landed here in my search for a keyboard to use with my retro PC.

The issue: I know more or less what to look for, and I did find some models ticking most of the boxes. I would just like to have confirmation that any of them still works with a PS2 adapter, as all of the lists I've found online are from nine years ago and I'm afraid that nobody is still updating them due to obsolescence.

Here's my shortlist of requirements:

- Rollover of at least 6
- ISO layout (I live in Switzerland and I'm not used to ANSI keyboards)
- Cherry MX blues
- PS2 compatibility

I have narrowed them down to these choices, although suggestions are welcome:

Das Keyboard 4 series
Ducky One 2
Filco Majestouch 2

Would anyone be so kind to try these with PS2, and confirm if they work at all? Thanks  :)

The Filco will definitely work with PS/2 since it comes with an adapter in the box.
