PS2 to USB

[gtrfvb]

Hello, I was wondering if its possible to just cut the PS2 male jack of the end of a keyboard wire, do the same to a male USB connector mate the keyboard wiring with the usb wiring.

Basicaly I want to convert a PS2 keyboard into a USB keyboard, without buying an adaptor.

I would imagine if you wanted to do that you would have to do more than cutting of the adapter and putting a new one on.

Sounds like you would have to recable the whole thing. Just get an adaptor

PS2 and USB are entirely different protocols; it's not simply a matter of different connectors. Adapters are only a few bucks anyway; why not just buy one?

I wasn't sure if it was doable to not, I'd rather do something myself then pay for something to do it for me. But since its not possible to just change the adapter, I'll have to just buy a convterter. Thanks.
