A Teensy is only about $22 shipped and the Chinese knock-offs are as little as $5.

For $40 you can get one of Orihalcon's cable converters, but you don't need any of that, AT speaks the right language already.

A straight AT-to-PS/2 adapter is all you need and even a PS/2-to-USB can piggyback off of that.

But if you want to tweak the layout, xwhatsit controller swap is superior to a converter.

F construction is so bulletproof you can barely tell a cleaned up one from one fresh out of the box.

Hope it gets used and doesn't just sit on a shelf.
