I have a Poker II on the way through massdrop but it's quite delayed due to this that and the other.. Just won a Ger/qwertz Cherry G80-3474, MX Black for approx. 25USD + 8$ shipping

The seller recently sold a Cherry G80-1501HAD with sweet dubbleshot PBT-caps. Hope this one also carries PBT's, probably not as he did not bother to show off a keycap on camera.

Dear oh dear, hope this won't turn addictive..

The G80-1501 keycaps are doubleshot ABS, the ones on your board are lasered PBT.

I got her laying in front of me, just bought a PS/2 - USB adapter only to realize I need an active adapter. Never knew there was passive/active ones

Any recommendations on these?

There's something called the blue cube most people like to mention. I built my own, using a Teensy and Soarer's Converter. You can even install it inside the keyboard that way.

Passive adapters are from the later days when keyboards supported USB internally, but had only one cable. Keyboards made before USB existed need to be converted for real.

I find blue cubes works very well

there are many options Teensy is also good
