I own a MRHK-2D keyboard adaptor, and it has far-exceeded my expectations. All keys map (in hardware) exactly where you'd expect to find them, and I haven't had any errant key lockups, lock-outs, or any other undesirable behavior, either. It even behaves perfectly with games both from workbench and cold-boot. Who could ask for anything more? It really is like having a brand-new Amiga keyboard (just for half the price...)
Where can we order the new MRH Mouse adaptor?

In reply to Comment 1 (Tom):
All these gadgets are the wrong way round for me. What I want is an
adaptor to use Amiga keyboards on a PC, and an Amiga mouse (trackball
actually) in a PS2 socket.

In reply to Comment 2 (Don Cox):
Why would you want to use Amiga devices on PC's?
Almost all PC devices are better designed and built.
I could build an adapter, if one doesn't exist but why?
Anyway, been looking for something that works with KVM's.
I have a PS/2 mouse adapter that fails with my KVM, so looks like I'll be ordering two of those. Anyone want to by my old one? Works great without KVM. (Topolino III)

In reply to Comment 3 (Snaz):
I would rather run Amithlon with an Amiga keyboard, as I think the
A2000/A4000 keyboards are better than Windows keyboards. They have a
better layout (at least for using AmigaOS) and a better feel.
This will also apply to AmigaOne which I think has a PS2 socket.
As for the mouse, I have some very high quality trackballs which are
better than anything now available, and are currently wired for Amiga.
Also some people have games controllers or dongles or joysticks which
they want to use.

hahaha.....i've worn out probably 1x's pc keyboards, they are so cheapish
in design, have you ever spilled coffe ++ over one and open them up
and that see that 'thin as paper' green mat that keypresses touch? I clean up
inside and next day some keys wont work....buy new one....ok, they are
cheap so it wont hurt but you get equal quality for less you pay.
What keyboard do I use while waiting for new one, old A2000 keyboard :)
This baby looks like a computer inside :) hard printcard + a few IC's and
probably one diode for each key...and easy as hell to clean, as the keypress
switches are protected with hard plastic and no liquid can penetrate, you just
gotta be quick to open it :)
Im using it always now, and hope it works with my AmigaOne :)

That is the beauty of getting one of these keyboard adapters. You
could use any windows keyboard cheap or expensive and any kind of
layout, ergodynamic etc... Hey spend as much or as little as you want
they map out all the regular Amiga keys like you would expect. There
are other handy short cuts built in such as one button copy,
paste,window swapping(Lamiga M)and you can program in others depending
on the extra keys that you get on your keyboard. I have as one button
keys: Miami,Aweb,Yam,Cygnus Editor,Voyager,Dir Opus,AmFtp,Final
