I have a few thinkpad keyboards lying around. The older or used ones are inexpensive and easy to get. It has occurred to me to wonder if an adapter could be fabricated to connect keyboard's tiny internal ribbon connecter to USB or PS2. I guess this guy made one for a standalone trackpoint: https://github.com/feklee/usb-trackpoint https://github.com/feklee/usb-trackpoint which is an awesome idea, and also something I wish I could just buy. So maybe a cheap pcb could be designed to connect the whole keyboard; build your own case. I'm picturing something CNC milled out of some classy hardwood. I know I would pay for the board if it already existed, and I am convinced there is an opportunity here. I guess maybe I should bite the bullet and finally get around to learning some simple pcb design tools, but I wish someone would just scoop the idea :)
