Sold outChecked Jul 24, 2026Apple II USB Keyboard Adapterby A2Heaven

Lets supported original-style Apple II computers use a USB keyboard.

The adapter was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It supports only USB HID 1.0 low-speed keyboards, so many current USB keyboards may not work. The vendor explicitly says it is not compatible with the Apple IIe.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026Lotharek AKI Keyboard Interface Familyby DarkDK, Andre Bertram, and Lotharek

Adds an internal PS/2 or USB keyboard interface to supported Atari 8-bit computers by interposing at the POKEY socket.

Both variants exposed login-or-register-to-buy paths on 2026-07-27. A non-socketed POKEY must be desoldered, four control wires are required, and installation calls for a new case opening for the supplied keyboard socket or cable. The PS/2 page says an original keyboard that stops working on a 600XL or 800XL requires removal of R2 and R3; XE and XEGS machines leave those resistors intact.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026PENGUIN BIS PS/2 Keyboard Adapterby Lotharek

Adds a PS/2 or PS/2-compatible USB keyboard to a ZX Spectrum 48K or Spectrum+ through an internal keyboard-interface board.

The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. It explicitly targets the 48K and Spectrum+ and warns that the original keyboard may stop working while the adapter is installed. The two signal modes use different motherboard signals; select the documented jumper state for the exact board and change hardware only with power removed. A USB keyboard works only if it supports the PS/2 protocol through its connector.

AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026RP2040 and Pi Pico VGA Terminal Familyby Z80 Kits

Adds an 80-column VGA serial terminal with USB keyboard input, a buzzer, and microSD support to an RC2014.

The optional SD backpack is only for the earlier Pi Pico VGA Terminal. It requires PicoTerm 1.6.0 or later, can be ordered with its surface-mount socket preinstalled, and does not include the Pi Pico itself.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026Rys MKIIby Retro 7-bit

Hosts USB HID mice, keyboards, joysticks, and gamepads on classic Amigas, with more limited C64 and Atari ST modes.

Amiga Shop listed Rys MKII in stock at EUR 44.95 with a 3-4 day shipping estimate on 2026-07-30; AMIGAstore separately listed EUR 31.95 but out of stock with restock T.B.A. Retro 7-bit publishes current Amiga firmware 0.16, manual 1.5, Windows flashing software, and RysWheel installers. Seller claims conflict about wireless mice, so buyers should assume a wired supported HID device unless Retro 7-bit confirms a specific receiver.

Check statusChecked Jul 30, 2026TOM USB HID Adapter Familyby Electronica4u

Connects USB HID mice, keyboards, joysticks, and gamepads to Commodore, Amiga, and Atari ST-family control ports.

Sordan hosts current Rev3 and Micro Tom pages and a Rev3 manual, but neither product page exposed a price, stock value, or product-specific cart route on 2026-07-30. AMI64 listed TOM 2+ at GBP 40 but out of stock. TOM+ and TOM Rev2 are retained as older variants rather than presumed current products. USB peripherals may be hot-plugged, but the DB9 adapter must be connected only while the old computer is powered off. Device compatibility is not universal.
