Description
The tinkerBOY ADB to USB Keyboard/Mouse Converter uses the TMK Core Library so you can use your old Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) keyboards/mice (like the AEK and AEK II Apple Extended Keyboard) to a modern computer. It’s plug-and-play and and it does not need any special drivers to work. The connector is a mini-DIN 4 connector, identical to that used by S-video.
What’s included?
- 1 x tinkerBOY ADB to USB Keyboard/Mouse Converter
Note: The rectangular hole on the adapter maybe a bit tight on some ADB male cable with a bit wider connecting bar (the small plastic bar inside the connector) so you may have to push it a little harder. If it’s really that tight, you can also just remove the plastic bar from the male ADB connector or do something about the rectangular hole on the adapter to widen it.

I am typing this review from my circa 1988 Apple Extended Keyboard on my 2015 iMac – a 3-decade difference. 🙂 Thank you so much for your ingenuity with the electronics, and the simple, clean design of the device! Takes a while to ship to New York, but worth it.
