Title: PS/2 pcb
Post by: Bjack795 on Wed, 29 August 2018, 02:29:19

Hi all!
I need to make a keyboard with PS/2 port.
Searching on the web I didn't find any pcb with that port instead of standard USB one.
Can you help me?
(The dimensions are 60% or 75% keyboard)

There is so far i know no 60% or 75% keyboard with a ps2 port. I think you have to do some deep research and frankenstein modding to a existing pcb.

Yea agree with Sup, unless you wanna bust out a soldering iron and remove the mini-usb connector and reprogram and reflash the PCB, just get a passive converter that you put on the end of the USB cable

Thank you both!

The problem of the passive adaptors is that are compatible in the 10% of the boards and I don't know if this is the case.
