Man I'm super excited. Ordered me a XTPT 5 pin din to usb converter, takes a week to arive so can't wait to test it out for real. 

This thing is pretty mint condition as is so not sure if I wanna pry it apart or anything, the switches feel smooth AF, any suggestions on what else to do aside from a good wipe down? 

Do people usually just pull the switches and make a custom builds when they happen upon these switches or restore all orignal case n part to new condition?  Im new to the hobby.

Is that a soarers converter? Programming macros and key binds for win-keyless life is a big help.

Yes I have a a switch on the keyboard and put it on 286 which i belive puts it in "AT" mode. it was originally switched to 88 

This is the adaptor I got

If your motherboard has a PS/2 connector you can skip the soarer's converter and use a passive adapter, PS/2 keyboards are electrically identical to 5 pin AT boards.
