Peeps getting cables for their new keyboards, and I’m looking while typing on my old Dell Bigfoot with PS/2 connector. ☹️

Still a brilliant Keyboard for the age, love typing on it! May want to replace it with something modern with lights as the kids have these days.

those vintage mech boards are the shit bro, don't be sad! I use an AEK II because I love the thought of using something that's decades old and still works because back then, stuff was made to last.

I wonder when or if this phrase "made to last" will fade into existence...

is PS/2 a bad connector? im currently looking into getting some old model m type boards and am not sure if getting the PS/2 port is bad or not. my mobo has the port so it’s a matter if if i should or not

Nope, works perfectly fine in Win 10. It’s technically better than USB for a keyboard, only thing is it’s classed as “legacy” so not used anymore.
