Just got my hands on the following WSYE keyboard but I need a cable, anyone know what they are called or where I can get one.
-
it uses a 4p4c connector. Any handset cord for a phone should work, that is, the cord that goes between the handset and the phone, NOT the cord that goes between the phone and the wall.
However, your bigger issue is that this is not going to work for a modern PC unless you have an adapter. Soarer has made software for building one with a teensy or other ATmega32U4. See this thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=52597.msg1167938#msg1167938) for more info.
Edit: BTW, welcome to GH!

Thankyou, I have read all the relevant information on how to convert, I know it will be a bit of a job (compared to just buying a new mechanical that works )but I would to do it just for myself and not for any other reason, I am kinds weird like that, I love building and making things.

Awesome. Pretty much describes a lot of people here. I don't think it is weird. I built one of those converters just to do it also, and I ended up typing with that same model of keyboard you have for quite a while. Good luck.
