            Yeah, not the best angle. The PS/2 port is that little silver box. The USB-C port is on the PCB. This was assembled to go inside a vintage keyboard to semi-permanently convert it, but I’ve been using it to test other boards. If a board is fully intact, I’ll just use an external converter, but there used to be a practice of snipping the cables on hardware that businesses retired for accounting purposes if they were written off, which can be a good, if risky, way to get an eBay buy for cheap.
