Technology » Old Keyboard

written by owen, published 2026-May-14, comment

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. Nov2023.

Video Games » New Xbox 360 games Feb 2026

I decided to check fb marketplace to see whats up. Found a couple listings but nothing major. Managed to pick up a few games from a random seller;

- RDR Undead Nightmare CIB $9 USD
- Grid 2 $9 USD CIB

I wasnt planning to buy any of these but they were cheap so..... Undead Nightmare is technically DLC on disc but its standalone so I can knock it out in 6-7 hours without needing to play the full RDR game. Grid on the other hand is 18 hours long which is a bit long for a racing game IMHO. But it looked good (was good) and is not EA so I had it on my list as a possible loose buy.

Got some games

I was gifted some games(CIB) by a friend in December 2025. Totally forgot about them because I had filed them away in the backlog. I will play them later. Good thing is that none of these games are repeats of what I already had - different tastes. This shows the wide variety of games on the 360.

- Dante's Inferno (rare)
- Army of Two The 40th Day
- Blacksite Area 51
- Condemned Criminal Origins (rare)
- Condemned 2 Bloodshot
- Call of Duty 3 Gold Edition (rare)

Early xbox 360 games are rare and expensive. I am glad that will get a chance to experience these games but I fully expecting launch game jank.
