I bought a cheap PS/2 to USB adapter off of Amazon to get a Model M working with a modern computer. I wanted it to work on both my PC desktop, which has a PS/2 connector, and my Macbook, which doesn't.
The adapter I bought was complete junk and didn't seem to work correctly, but I had some Pro Micros lying around (about $5 a piece) and managed to flash them with the Soarer's Converter firmware. Then I cut the 2 PS/2 connectors off of the cheap adapter and soldered them to the correct pins on the Pro Micros, and I ended up with 2 converter cables that worked just fine.
If you want cables that don't look like you built them, you can find Soarer's Converter cables on eBay that look professionally made.
