Title: Ps/2 -> usb
Post by: ethics- on Tue, 31 May 2011, 19:49:29

Hey all,

I'm going to the recipient of the keyboard found in this thread:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18413-Custom-Model-M-For-A-Minecraft-Account

I'll be needing to connect it to a MBP via USB.  Does anyone have an extra converter I could buy, or could link me somewhere I could pick one up for cheapsies?  Thanks :)

Cheapest (cost + shipping) last time I checked.  I bought one late last week.

That cube lister linked is a good one. Another option is:

This qualifies for free shipping if your total order is over $25 so if you're getting something else, this might be a good deal. Also if you have any keyboards that have a trackpad built in, you can use the mouse connector and it'll work. This is the one I use and it's worked on all my ps/2 keyboards in my signature.

I might give this one a try. Btw it's free shipping 2-days if u have prime. You might be offered a month free trial of prime
