How-to guide details PS/2 keyboard-to-iPhone mod, just for you

by Darren Murph Oct 15th 2009 @ 10:06AM

Oh sure, we've seen hacker after hacker brag about their success in connecting some sort of keyboard to Apple's iPhone, but have any of them bothered to take the time to explain the process behind the magic? Exactly. The man behind AwghBlog, however, is a kinder, gentler soul, and he's found the time to detail in quite specific terms how he connected a legacy PS/2 keyboard (you know, the one you're not using any longer) to Apple's cash-cow of a smartphone. Best of all, the guide actually explains how to build a PS/2 keyboard-to-iPhone converter, so you're not necessarily tied to a certain board. Hit the read link if you're down for a weekend project.

WOW, from the pic it looks like an extremely practical (not to mention stylish) solution to the iPhone lack of physical qwerty.
