I've got two old early-90's PS/2 keyboards that I love the feel of and would love to be able to use them on my new computer, but my new machine doesn't have a PS/2 port on the motherboard!
Can anybody suggest a good ACTIVE (i.e. not the cheap passive ones!) adapter for using an older PS/2 keyboard in a USB plug that they know works well and that they trust?
Cheers and thanks!

If that is what you want make sure your next mother board has the connection on it
Some new z170 boards do have them or at least one ps/2 connector.
