I have a USB Unicomp keyboard that I don't use much, because I switched to a IBM Model M with a Soarer's Converter. I've kinda gotten hooked on being able to remap keys and do other nifty things the soarer's converter can do at a hardware level. Is there anything like a Soarer's Converter that can work with a USB keyboard?

I think Hasu was working on something like this.

You can buy them from him directly. Hasu’s had them for a few years now. Hypersphere spoke positively of his usb to usb, many times. I was considering one alongside my Bluetooth HHKB controller order, but it was pricey.

I think the keyboards needs to speak the 6KRO USB protocol. No NKRO support.

Hasu's converter doesn't list the Unicomp Model M as compatible.
