I was using Logitech Wave corded keyboard but suddenly it is not work anymore nad now i am using my old one. Actually i have wanted to recycle my very old Acer keyboard (from 1998). And i found here. I love that keyboard cos of its keys. So comfort for me. I want to turn it from din 5 to usb. Fisrt i tried to solder pins to usb but didnt work. And found out their system was different. Anyway glad to be here and I hope i will learn some new consept about keyboards...

Welcome to Geekhack!

USB and AT use different signals.  You will need an AT to PS/2 adaptor (they use the same pins), and then a PS/2 to USB adaptor.

This one is particularly recommended: http://www.idinnovations.com/usb%20adaptors.html

I have used one of these to get an old AT keyboard working on a Mac.  If that works, almost anything else should!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
