I couldn't turn anything up on a quick glance on the web.
Ideally braided or sleeved.

Usually if a keyboard works on PS/2 then it comes with the proper cable or adapter.
What kind of keyboard (and model #) are you trying to connect to PS/2?
-
There are two ways to do it:
1: Order from Mimic.
2: Use one of the USB to PS/2 adapters.

Particularly my ducky, but any mk with a detachable cable.
I think a good mini usb to ps2 would be a good solution, I could use an adapter but since I was looking for a braided cable why not kill 2 birds with one stone.
1: Order from Mimic.
If thats the only option, I'll see what hes got.

I feel like a salesman when I say "He has literally what you want."

Rosewill RK9000 comes with such a cable, perhaps Rosewill owner has one they are not using? Make WTB for.

True. And the cables are braided. I am using all mine so I have none for sale.

So looking at your signature, the cable is the only good thing about the rosewill?

No. The cables are completely awful. They are ridiculously stiff and therefore transfer force into your USB connector, eventually cracking the solder joints and rendering the keyboard nonfunctional.
Normal cables lay down onto whatever surface u lay them on.
These cables magically lift themselves up into the air. Mine currently goes 6 inches up then 6 back down then zigzags all over the place up and down and all around. All that weight transfers directly into your USB port. Its a total scam.
I have my stupid ridiculous ripoff Rosewill cable taped onto the keyboard to act as a strain-relief mechanism. You should do the same.
But by golly, they are braided.

Maybe I need to rethink getting one of those cables, at least from rosewill.
I think steel series has a cable that comes with their 7G, I wonder if it suffers the same issue as the rosewill?

I'm pretty sure the 7G's cable is attached.
