So?
Pretty sure you need a driver for that keyboard, though I'm not sure one for anything beyond XP exists.
It's not even mechanical though, why bother.

I use a PS/2 keyboard, best keyboard I've ever had.

My model M is a DIM5...
you need an active adapter passive adapters only work if the keyboard has the hardware for usb

>only work if the keyboard has the hardware for usb
This keyboard is from the year 2001.

This looks like a passive adapter for a specific keyboard that can run USB signals over its PS/2 connector.
Though active adapter chips can be pretty small, so it COULD have one in it. Does it show up in device manager / lsusb and not work, or not show up? If it shows up at all, it's an active adapter that isn't working right. If not, it's probably passive and not going to work for you.

You'll need a proper converter, your keyboard doesn't support USB directly.

When you attach a ps/2 keyboard or mouse, you need to reboot for it to initialize.

Also:
I'm the same guy from weeks ago did that thread asking about how turn off a symbol muslim at a keyboard.

Those were usually bundled with keyboards sold like 15 years ago. If you spent more than $1 you got ripped off.

Purple is for keyboard.
Green is for mouse.
Yes, it does matter.
