Title: Anyone Have a Belkin ADB to USB Converter For Sale?
Post by: arsenal553 on Thu, 16 February 2012, 22:11:36

Hey guys, new to this site and the keyboard world. I'm trying to use a Apple Extended Keyboard with my windows 7. I see some of these converters on sale on ebay but they are over seas and the the shipping price is much too high. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Might want to re-post this in the classifieds as a WTB.

Know how to solder? Buy a Teensy and use hasu's keyboard converter!

I have the Griffin iMate converter (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Griffin-iMate-ADB-USB-adapter-BRAND-NEW-/320846375845?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab3ef2ba5#ht_500wt_1287), and it works very well for me.

Hi, just got that iMate and I'm typing with it right now. Only issue I'm having with it is the locking caps lock key is very glitchy. Sometimes it will be toggled on when the key is released. Is there any way to get it to function without the locking feature?
