Extension Cable/Wireless Adapter Option for Keyboard?

[habibrobert]

Hi everyone,

Are there any retro wireless adapters that could be used with an ADB keyboard/mouse setup? Alternatively, are there any places that sell 5-10 ft long ADB extension cables? I have a less than ideal set up, meaning my Quadra tower is more than a few feet away from my desk. The Wombat ADB to USB converter is a potential option for me, but that would mean I'd be using a modern USB keyboard/mouse with a USB extension cable. However, If its possible, I'd like to continue using the original ADB mouse/keyboard

I'd appreciate any recommendations.

I think you can just use an S-video male-female cable extension.... it’s the same mini-din plug with 4 wires.

There were plenty of infrared ADB adapters. I used to have one, but sold it ages ago. But as Pizzigri said, S-Video cables make for great ADB cables. Same pinout.

That's perfect. I will give the S-video cables a try. Thanks everyone, this simplifies things a lot for me!
