Finally discovered an assemblage of garbage from my attic that works with the Pi Pico VGA Terminal for my #rc2014
No keyboard on hand works, except for this dirty old PS/2 keyboard plugged into this ancient Belkin PS/2 to USB A adapter plugged into this USB A to USB Micro OTG adapter. But it does work!
Also, the ESP8266 wifi modem works, so this is a BBS calling machine now!
I suspect the problem the terminal had with all my other USB keyboards is that they all have fancy lighting, so that's probably asking too much power from the poor little Pi Pico.
Weirdly, an old aluminum Apple USB keyboard I have didn't work either. But, I remember that thing unexpectedly drawing too much power from a Raspberry Pi 1 back in the day
Found another PS/2 HHKB Lite to play Rogue and get killed by a purple worm
@lmorchard i really enjoy the look of those HHKB but the lack of arrow keys really is a deal breaker for me...
@lmorchard oh yeah if i'm using a system that's designed for not having arrow keys that's fine! but like, as a Main Keyboard
@mavica_again I kinda go back & forth on that... Got my brain warped to use fn-layer cursor keys a long time ago, so it's pretty comfy to me. That, and I used to be a VIM & HJKL devotee (though not so much anymore)
