USB to PS2 Converter

[Kon]

I was pointed to this site because i am searching for one of these for a friend who built a new system and now cant use his SS 7G, person who referred me here said you guys would know whats what. i have tried searching quickly but there is way to many threads to sift through to find the what im looking for, i will continue to look but hopefully someone will help me out

Look at #2 here. In the future, feel free to ask questions in Simple Questions, Simple Answers so you don't need to create a new thread just to ask a question .

And welcome to Geekhack!

Edit: Er, if you're looking for a USB to PS/2 adapter and not a PS/2 to USB adapter, I'm sure Amazon has some. Might have had some dyslexia with my first post. Sorry!

Thanks ill give that adapter a go, and i did search the first 2 pages of that thread saw nothing on PS2

Easier just to ask in that thread next time is all I meant ^__^

so you are converting a ps2 keyboard to plug into a usb motherboard, right?

The "best" one is likely the teensy running soarer's code. It's a diy job, and expensive ($25 or so) but fully programmable and supporting NKRO over usb.

the better commercial / premade ones are the ID innovations multimode usb adapter. I have several and they don't "reset" like many others do. they also support 6KRO, so you can use them for gaming.

lots of people like the "blue cube" adapter. I haven't used it, but I can't see how it'd be better than the above.

oh, and Welcome to Geekhack!
