My favourite PC keyboard is roughly 20 years old. When I upgraded to a 64bit windows machine I lost the PS/2 port which meant I had to buy and adapter to make it fit into USB. Note that you have to buy a specific adapter that has logic. The simple pass through adapters will not work.

This keyboard has served me well over the years. Over time it started developing random glitches. Not sure if its dust or electrical degradation. Sometimes pulling it apart and cleaning it helps. Lately I am trying to replace it with one of those modern flat keyboards which are super light but god I hate them. Modern hardware is better in some aspect but nothing really lasts forever.
