Title: Adapter thread
Post by: CodeChef on Sun, 14 November 2010, 12:24:29

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a 5-pin DIN (female) to 6-pin mini-DIN (aka PS/2, male) adapter. There was a post in some thread a while ago that had it for like 89 cents. I can't find that anymore.

Secondly, I'm looking for a Blue Cube PS/2 to USB adapter and I refuse to buy from Clicky Keyboards because they overcharge on everything and they are snobby bastards. Where do you get them?

Thanks.

I wouldn't call Clickykeyboards.com "snobby bastards". True, they're pretty pricey, but they deliver excellent customer service and are always more than happy to help you if you got a question about your IBM keyboard.

If you're getting one of these, I would recommend getting the bendy type. The non-bendy type takes up lots of room around the PS/2 port of the computer and can make it hard to connect a PS/2 mouse.

Brofist. That's exactly it.

Now then, blue cubes anyone?
