David Cantrell 🏏Squeeee!!!
I use a #SunMicrosystems type 7 #keyboard on my #Mac. It's a very nice keyboard. But I remember the type 6 being a bit better. And I just found one for sale on ebay!

@DrHyde you want a real one, so you need an older Type 5. You will need an active converter to turn the serial signal into PS/2 or USB though.
@drajt the converter did not play nice with a KVM last time I tried one
@DrHyde not surprised. I keep meaning to build/buy a converter. In principle it's easy to do, the Sun serial protocol is straight forward, and there is code for the microcontroller already available. Strictly speaking you can also just write your own driver and use a serial port directly if you have one...
I currently just use a dull but reliable Filco Majestouch keyboard which isn't too clicky and uses Cherry MX brown switches.
@drajt I suppose I could stick a #RaspberryPi in the chain. Attach the kb to the #RPi (maybe via a converter, maybe directly to the GPIO pins), then have that pretend to be a USB keyboard talking to the KVM. Because obviously chucking a 64-bit supercomputer that basically comes free with a box of cornflakes (I so love living in the future!) into the mix will fix everything! It would at least be easier for me to debug.
