Yeah the keyrah is basically meant to be used in cases that are left over from tower conversions, etc.. The A1200 keyboard can't be connected to a keyrah and an Amiga at the same time,

The only option is indeed to use a USB KVM and a USB controller on the Amiga, so workbench only.

The usb -> ps2 adapter would need to be something you coded together yourself (with a microcontroller), as the Keyrah cannot speak PS2, only USB.

Most of those small USB -> PS2 adapters are just connector adapters and the chip inside the keyboard or mouse knows to switch to ps2 mode.

But you can get intelligent USB to PS2 adapters which actually convert a USB keyboard to PS2.


Or is it the other way around after all? I own two different ps2->usb adapters to be able to use my beloved old keytronics on modern usb only pcs..

Please link me to an intelligent adapter that translates usb keyboards to ps2 sockets. I have yet to see one live or in pictures.
