I now have a half dozen of these little boards. Your computer never needs to know that you use a USB keyboard. Let it just think you are PS/2 for life!
You could also use it to connect a modern keyboard to a #retro computer. 486DX, anyone? 🤓
I'd offer these up for sale, but I think there are probably no more than two people who would both be interested and be on #nostr. 🤣 So I guess I'm just building these to amuse myself. Oh, and personal use (that's where the one is that is not pictured... it's in production).

Do any modern computers even have PS/2 ports? I'd think this would only be useful for retro computers...

Yes, pretty much all desktops have PS/2 ports unless you get a little tiny NUC or something.
Laptops are usually stuck with USB-only. You have to eork to find PS/2 ports there nowadays.
The only reason I wanted it was for a security boost in Qubes.
