The RS232 in question is an interface of the computer, not the keyboard.
The "other" PS/2 socket of the keyboard is a pass-through for a second keyboard.
I also have a hint for you: why not simply ask Tipro themselves?

A pic of the PCB of your keyboard would help understand what you mean. Concerning double keys: Tipro matrix keyboards normally have a full matrix, "double keys" are just double keycaps sitting on two switches with only one of them programmed (are you aware you can open the ChangeMe software and expl...

search your way through the forum or
ask specific questions in e.g. the following thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23085l or
simply open a new thread with a recognisable title.
