Using ps/2 or usb keyboard

Recommended Posts

Has anyone converted any Atari 8bit to use a PC keyboard? I have a 65xe with a damaged membrane(cracked at the curve) and if there were no replacements available was wondering if it could be converted to a PC keyboard? Have a lot of them in storage.

The Trans-key II interface is available from The Brewing Academy:

There is a version that plugs into the XEGS keyboard port, and another version that piggybacks on POKEY with a cable to the PS/2 keyboard port for the other models.
