Hello! Do you have any idea how I change the connector of a ps/2 keyboard to USB? I've tried the following schematics that make sense but no success. When I plug in the keyboard the LEDs light up for about half a second and then turn off and the keyboard doesn't work.

PS2 isn't usb. You probably need active electronics in between.

@olback it should work, I've had passive adapters. The diagram is bad probably

From the article which you took the image from:
"however be aware that not all devices respond well to changing the input connection. there might be complications.

some ps2 devices require an active ps2->usb connector and do not work correctly with just a wire switchover.

likewise, some usb devices do not work with a ps2 adapter correctly"

Wouldn’t it have been easier just to buy a $5 USB keyboard?

@olback Thanks!
@C0D4 I taught I could save this old keyboard.
