If you can't find a working adaptor on the many, many mechanical forums, go hack something together with a teensy.

>>57782408

If you can't figure out how to make the greatest keyboard in the world work, you don't deserve to own one.

Are the keys labelled like this as standard on a regular Model M? Or could it be that it's some non standard variation that's means specifically to work with terminals?

some people don't seem to realize why this is bad
the fucking keyboard is like nothing I find on the forums
they say that the chord on the back is detachable, but this one is soldered to the board
none of the key caps were on when it arrived, and I had to figure out where they had to go, but joke's on me because the key caps I got were random, I got two 0's and no o
the board in the keyboard was all kinds of fucked and the ribbon that went to it needed to be replaced but the bitch is with the plastic rivets that'll kill it if they get fucked with
all of this on top of the fact that after I did the work that it didn't work

PS/2 and DIN keyboards use literally the same protocol. They're 100% compatible, it's just a different plug.

Your keyboard is probably broken.

>>57782887
the issue is that the converter didn't fit because the fucking pins are everywhere

>>57782901
(I can't say that they are just not in alignment with any of the 7 converters I bought)
