PS/2>USB active converters for difficult situations
« on: Sat, 10 March 2012, 12:41:14 »
I'm a big fan of these for PS/2 > USB. I have several, and this is a pretty good price. May want to offer $20-25 if they don't sell too fast, or if you want to buy multiples.

Is this the 05F3:0203 from the wiki? Looks awesome. Have you played with the special settings in the manual?

Unfortunately it's still pretty expensive.

If you think that's expensive, look at some other products on the same website: Simple momentary switches for $80

I would get some of these buddy buttons if they were reasonably priced (ie $10)

Nice find. Like you, I may pick up one (or two) if the price drops by $5-10. At $19.50, the cost of international shipping is only a little higher than average.
