So I've recently learned that despite windows 98SE having usb support, certain peripherals like keyboards are not just plug and play. Now I'm stuck with a non functioning keyboard and I have no idea what I could try to get it working. I've heard the cheap little usb to ps/2 adapters are pretty useless so the only thing I can think of is to find some kind of driver for it? which so far has been unsuccessful, or perhaps get an adapter to actually convert the signal. Something like this:

My concern with that is whether there will be any delay with it. If anyone on here has experience with these then please tell me if they're any good or not. Also please tell me if you know a cheaper option out there than this particular one.
The keyboard I'm using is a Periboard 213 and it is my preference to use this particular keyboard which is why I haven't given up and just stuck an old ps/2 keyboard in it yet. I am open to a different option but I can't find any keyboard which meets my requirements besides this one.
