Blue Cube PS/2 Adapters

Are these still considered the go-to adapter? If so where can I even find one for sale at a reasonable price? I've been unable to find one for sale, and the one eBay auction I saw was for over 300 bucks, no way.

If these are not the go-to PS/2 to USB adapters anymore, which are considered good now these days? I'm looking for an adapter that doesn't reset itself like the one I am using right now (Belkin).

I was going to send you to ClickyKeyboards' page ( https://clickykeyboards.com/product/ps2 ... usb-cable/ ), but he doesn't have 'em in stock, either. :-/

Whoa I had no idea that those had become rare and valuable. I got this one for my M13. I can't speak of its longevity as it's not my daily driver, but it's done well by me so far.

I've had mixed luck at best with the blue cube. Worked on maybe half of my vintage (mostly Alps-based) keyboards. Bought a Soarers from Orihalcon on ebay and it has worked flawlessly on every keyboard I've tried it with.

edit: here's a link to the PS/2 version.

Hmm. Time to dig out my backup blue cubes and put them up on eBay, I guess. Funny.
