Connector that looks like a ps/2 but bigger

I found this connector on an old keyboard. I want to try to restore it for my friend, though I don't know what kind if connector it is or if there's even an adaptor for it. Anyone got any ideas?

That's is a very old keyboard connector, I don't think they even make adapters for it. Last time I saw that connector was on pentium 2 days

Even earlier. I'd say, 1994-1995 yrs.

Looks like a MIDI or S-Video connector to me.

Yeah, the pentium 2 was the last Era of pcs to use it, was replaced with ps/2 connectors by pentium 3/4. Only reason I know the pentium 2 used them still is because that was the first pc I disassembled, got so annoyed at my kb disconnecting every few minutes I took the mobo out and fixed the connector by wrapping copper wire around the loose ground pins to secure the connector to the mobo, and then I had to figure out how to put the pc back together again :D. That was my first time building a computer

Thanks guys. Damn, I didn't know it was that old. I don't think I can find any adaptors for that here, but it seems that iI can change the connector to a ps/2

If you are comfortable with splicing wires, and potentially doing some basic soldering, then yeah, you can just lop off the end, and rewire it to a PS/2 connector.

 

Have you checked all your e-tailers that will ship to you? eBay is probably the best source, but even Amazon sells them (at least in some regions).

It's called a DIN connector. Yes, you can use an adapter to go to PS/2 and then another one to USB.

It's old and not used, so I'll take the risk. Sadly I live in Indonesia, where things either don't exist or too expensive :/
