USB to PS/2 keyboard/mouse using ps2x2pico

[tinkerBOY]

I've been testing a project called ps2x2pico by No0ne, and it works really well. You can use a wired or wireless USB keyboard and/or mouse through a USB hub. I've got several Apple USB keyboards with built-in USB hubs, so you can daisy chain a mouse too, and they all work great. I wanted to create a PCB with the Pico and the necessary logic shifter to make it easier for anyone to use. I'm just wondering if you would be interested in something like this.

Nice project. Did you make the level shifter PCB ?

No, I just bought it from Shopee.

I just finished wiring up a Pico and level-shifter to run ps2x2pico. Works great! If you ever offer it as a product, let us know?

Definitely, I would.

The existing commercial offerings are expensive and hard to find.

I also own several of your adapters, already @tinkerBOY.

Thanks!

Old PS/2 mice from 80s and 90s were dual protocol models that support serial and PS/2. Since PS/2 is IBMs computing standard, and serial was used on PC, this made them universal. It doesn't mean PS/2 mouse and serial mouse are interchangeable like PS/2 keyboard and AT one.

Yes i know all that. I'm asking Tinkerboy if his specific gadget would also do this other thing.
