Best PS/2 Converter
« on: Tue, 20 August 2013, 21:01:55 »
I've decided to give Stenography a try, and so, I need full NKRO support.  As my laptop does not have a PS/2 port (and I Mac OS as my primary OS---linux as a virtual machine), I need to use the USB -> PS/2 (via adapter) -> USB (via converter).   I've seen: http://deskthority.net/wiki/NKRO-over-USB_issues, and also Soarer's converter: http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/xt-at-ps2-terminal-to-usb-converter-with-nkro-t2510.html.  But I'm probably not going to be able to build it.  I have a standard 104 mechanical keyboard from WASD and also a Durandial from Tesoro.  What is the best market converter I could purchase?  I was looking at http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F5U119-E-PS-USB-Adapter/dp/B0000A2QBI.  Will this work?

The blue cube tends to be the one most often recommended around here.

I use the PS/2 to USB converter from Adesso for my Model M. Works just fine.

The only converter with USB out and NKRO that I am aware of is a Soarer.  I think hasu also has something in the works (maybe even finished?) that uses the same hardware.  His KB firmware supports NKRO so likely his converter firmware does as well.
