The current PS2 connector was a cable I wired in to replace a full sized DIN
connector cable. Unless newer keyboards are just faster I don't see why a USB
keyboard doesn't have the problem (yes I have several) but this keyboard does.

But if the problem is not the adaptor itself then my idea of rewiring it to
USB likely won't help, which SHOULD work by just doing a pin out on the PS2 to
USB adapter and getting a new cable and soldering it to the right spots inside
the keyboard like I did for the original DIN replacement.

I just don't want to replace this keyboard I've used for 29 years and the Win
Keys always get in the way during game playing..
