I now have a half dozen of these little boards. Your computer never needs to know that you use a USB keyboard. Let it just think you are PS/2 for life!

You could also use it to connect a modern keyboard to a #retro computer. 486DX, anyone? 🤓

I'd offer these up for sale, but I think there are probably no more than two people who would both be interested and be on #nostr. 🤣 So I guess I'm just building these to amuse myself. Oh, and personal use (that's where the one is that is not pictured... it's in production).
