http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-XT-AT-to-USB-Soarers-Converter-Remapping-Macros-NKRO-Support-IBM-Model-F-/281476427201?hash=item41894d6dc1:g:U4cAAOSwDN1USZL-I'll be needing one of these in the near future. This item as it stands is about CAD$60 shipped, but if I made the converter according to the guidelines on this forum, all the materials plus shipping combined would also come up about $60. Which should I go with?

Which should I go with?Huh? A Teensy is about $22 delivered to my door in Atlanta, and a mini-USB cable is about $2. I know Canadian shipping is expensive, but not that.Are you talking about buying a soldering iron and all the basic supplies?
A breadboard is entirely optional. I buy Teensies direct from pjrc https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy.htmlI would mount the Teensy internal and forget all the messy cable connections, but then I can do it the other way, too:https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58941.msg1348717#msg1348717Finding the female receptacle for the DIN plug is a pain, I have spares of both kinds (face-mount and cable-end) but it would probably cost $10 to ship it to you from the US.
It would be nice if someone could invent metallic superglue!
