    I’d say that’s a weird spot for the \ | key, but looking around, I think that’s one of the last keys on a 104 key keyboard to get standardized.

          How do you connect it to your computer? I have a big old keyboard but it's from before there were PS2 ports so I don't know what to do with it.

              If I didn’t have this exact keyboard as a kid, we had one nearly identical to it. So much IMing and gaming time on that keyboard. Nice find!

                Does it weigh a ton and have mighty ClIcKs that wake up the dead? If so, good find!

                Weight and dopamine releasing clicks are the best.

                  I have that exact one. It’s a membrane board, but not bad sounding. I love the Big Ass Enter key. I tried and failed to convert it to mechanical. Impossible to find a mechanical keyboard with a BAE, sadly.

                      I don't speak from personal experience, but it's my understanding you can do this with an active (as opposed to passive) ps2 to USB adapter. Should be compatible with pretty much any ps2 keyboard.

                          Absolute worst case, open it up, rip out its guts and replace with an Arduino set up for HID mode.

                            There's a couple options from before the ps2 standard, but I'd guess it's a 5-pin DIN connector on an AT keyboard (e.g. IBM model M). You'll need to know more about the keyboard to make a determination, but you might get lucky with a passive adapter to PS2 and chain to USB. Before the ps2 standard, there was more variety between manufacturers in both signaling and connectors.

                                It goes clicky click in a nice way. It feels solid, my other keyboards are shitty dollar tree ones which have RGB for some reason.

                                        If it's a model M there's a guy on eBay that sells a model M USB cable.

                                          Pretty sure there's also DIN to USB
