New post [Keyboards] IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

The keyboard with the unknown yellowish Alps clones is from a MicroOrchid PC3 portable. I have updated the wiki article and emailed MicroOrchid asking for details.

New post [Keyboards] Custom cable for a Wang 725-3770

Anyone know where I could find someone to build a custom cable for a Wang 725-3770?
It would be a 6P6C to PS2.
I’ve been trying to find the cable with the AT connector but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

New post [Group buys] F104+SSK+122+62+77+50+Ergo orders now open! New Kishsaver+Industrial Model F Keyboards

Just skimmed through but from the first link it seems to be an Xorg issue and that it works fine in Wayland? So indeed the best solution would be to switch to Wayland and get a much nicer experience at the same time.

New post [Keyboards] can't unlock computer using this keyboard

I bought a Logitech Pebble Keys. When I turn on the computer, everything connects well immediately. But when I restart the computer, I can't unlock it using this keyboard because it's not connected and only connects after unlocking the computer. How can this issue be resolved so I don't need to connect

New post [Gallery] Representing IBM at a meetup

Thanks a lot for your elaborate answer! This is enough info to build an usb converter, I'll add that one to the projects list then :) I suppose I could also hook up a ps2 keyboard to my l40sx with a passive adapter. Not that that gets you much, but anyway...

New post [Keyboards] How to use Hasu's PS2 TMK on PS/2 with a pro micro?

I'm thinking you can use an inductor to prevent the bootup power surge from tripping the boot process on the pro micro.
I need to convert an IBM 5576 Keyboard with these pro micros for the IBM protocol, so it seems like there is no V1 variant in any of this.
