My awesome cherry mx brown mechanical keyboard has been gathering dust for months... it works just fine, except it connects via PS/2 (has a separate usb that only activates the back lighting), and somehow the pins unglued. I've spliced wires before and figured it would be no different. I purchased cheap PS/2 cords, cut them open, and lo and behold the wires inside were not the same. Different colors, different amounts. Is there a specific way to look up a cord that would have the same wires inside as the cord attached to my keyboard? Seems a shame to throw away something I really liked and spend over a hundred bucks on because of this. Manufacturer is no longer in business apparently, so I can't contact them.
The wires inside are blue, light blue, pink, white, and a bare copper wire.
My apologies if the question seems stupid, all I've spliced before have been power cords, I'm not an electrical or computer expert. I just really don't want to spend another $100, and I am sick of using my cheap replacement keyboard. Thanks for any help.
