I was always partial to the IBM Selectric typewriter keyboards. But, these days, I'm using $30 mechanical gaming cheapies from Kmart. For a touch-typist (me) they're reasonably good. Better than many of the pretend high quality $100+ ones you see in many stores. They're probably *ALL* made for $3 in China, anyway. About the only things I'd complain about them on them are too noisy and too sharp edges on the keys. I do prefer keyboards that clunk rather than squoosh, but clackety-clack ones drive me around the bend. You might just have to try a few different *active* converters, then. Or, go the whole hog, and get one of those overblown Raspberry Pi kits just used as a keyboard converter. That, or get yourself a newer Unicomp... At least an old-school keyboard doesn't have those extra media keys which are a non-standard extension to deal with. Though the really old ones are the 5-pin DIN connectors (XT/AT), not PS/2, and may require more power to run. I was surprised that my 2017/2018-era motherboard still had PS/2 ports on it. I dunno if any motherboards have hidden ones (jumpers on the motherboard for a flylead to a socket panel). Daughterboard PCI-E interfaces may allow you to use PS/2 keyboards once booted up, but aren't likely to be working before that. Boot menus may be a problem. You could keep a crappy cheapy USB keyboard stashed away for if you need to change BIOS or UEFI settings. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.108.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jan 25 16:17:31 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
