... yeah, I'm dumb, I meant 1,5 cm...I thought I wrote it correctly, but I missed that... Mhm okay, well if I can solder the cables onto the PCB board, then the height issue might be fixed? Especially if I could take out the plastic shielding of the female ports, or grind them down.

Wow, thanks yeah most of these items should work in the tight space (I checked). I'm probably going to check eBay some more for like-wise items as one of the items is sold by someone who doesn't sell to Europe. I'll probably post further updates to this little project of mine (I know it ain't much, but we all have to start somewhere.) I have around 1,5 millimetres of space in height, which goes down to 0,5 millimetres around 7 centimetres further in length. I can also use a Dremel to take out some plastic struts which will give me more room in width, without compromising too much integrity of the bottom part of the keyboard. I'll keep in mind your solution when I've Dremeled out the plastic and reviewed the possible dimensions.

Hello there, So, as the title says I have the idea of turning the old ps2 keyboard I got from my uncle into a keyboard that has the ability to also store data for me. I guess that I'll probably have to strip the PS2 cable into a shorter version of it. Then either plug that ps2 into a small processor/hub which combines (I know, the wrong word, but I don't know every single term... I am a semi-hobbyist) the signals from the keyboard with the in and output of the storage drive (I'll probably be going for an SSD due to the size of it, or a flash USB drive? I know that all of what I just said is probably just dumb-man talk. But that's why I'm here. Now I know a bit of soldering, the same uncle as before will teach me more of it this summer. I have some DIY skills and happy to learn so that won't be a problem. I live in Europe, and wouldn't even know where to get the needed parts, except the storage drive maybe. Hopefully, somebody can help me. Any help appreciated Greetings, Steak PS: A picture of the type of keyboard plus (inside behind the metal backplate and seethrough electronics)
