Title: Hello, my keyboard finds
Post by: zwcropper on Fri, 02 December 2011, 11:20:16

Hello everyone,

I have recently been looking into purchasing a mechanical keyboard at home after seeing the guide on OCN. That guide directed me to this forum. It also prompted me to nose around the garage and I found quite a few mechanical keyboards in there. I came across an old Cherry G80-1800 with MX Blacks, five IBM model Ms and a model F. The problem is that they are all AT keyboards, and I currently only have a laptop, so can't use them. Can anyone recommend a converter that they know works for the model Ms and F as I have heard that few do.

There are some PS2->USB converters on dealextreme which works with model M. For example, you can look at comments to SKU.45594 ($3.8 with world shipping included) about support of model M.
