[didier derny]

Most adapter simply dont work with a keyboard other than qwerty
With an azerty it's hopeless

The only qwerty keyboard you can find on amazon.fr
Is a usb keyboard with an adapter 
(most of the time the adapter is not working)

This question comes up about once a year.

PS/2 keyboards are not hard to find.   They are still being made new by
both mass market and high end keyboard manufacturers.   Amazon sells
thousands of different models starting at $5.

The PS/2 interface is still very much in active use and still found on all
higher end/business model computers and servers.  Still favored by network
admins for security and gamers for n key rollover.  It's not going anywhere.

Not an issue at all unless you just *want* to use a usb kwyboard.  In that
case, maybe a fun project ;) On Nov 8, 2014 9:31 AM, "didier derny"
