Model H USB Controller Upgrade (IBM Model M)

We respect your privacy and don't share your email with anybody.

...
This conversion kit allows you to replace your IBM Model M's original internal controller board with a modern USB board. This aims to match the footprint of the original controller and plugs into the original keyboard matrix, but exposes a USB port through the original SDL connector.

Thanks to QMK, the keyboard is fully programmable. It ships with a DFU-style bootloader, which can be programmed over USB.

Features
  • Non-destructive upgrade - just swap the boards
  • Native USB (with type B connector), no adapter required
  • Doesn't require original controller
  • STM32 ARM Processor @ 72MHz with 64kb flash
  • Remappable keys (using QMK configurator)
  • Uses open source QMK firmware
  • Lower power (50 mA typical)
  • Genuine "TE Connectivity Trio-mate" connectors, as used on the original Model M
  • Model H QMK Firmware Source

Includes
1 x Model H USB Controller Board (Programmed and ready)
1 x 3D Printed Replacement USB Case Cover

Compatibility
This upgrade controller supports both variants.

Model H in a Model M 101

Great product! Very easy to install. If using QMK firmware & QMK toolbox to customize, toggle the auto-flash checkbox and plug in the keyboard via USB. The modelH runs the bootloader for a second or two after connecting, so firmware updates are super easy. I may pick up another one for my M 122.

Worked great

Dropped right into my '94 IBM model F and just worked. I only wish that the model F had a super key...

New Life to Old Keyboards

The Model H USB Controller is excellent. Fits perfectly into the space the old controller occupied and gave new life to my 30+ year old keyboards. They have another 30 years left in them with this upgrade.

Purchased 3 and 2 of them worked

Bought 3 of them, 1 of them doesn’t work. The two that do work, work amazing, plug and play with no issues what so ever. Highly recommended. I’m glad to have found a solution.

Super happy with this product, buy a few just incase you get a bad one.

Worked great, no firmware or software updates needed.

I'm using a mac pro 3,1 and 5,1 which can fail to boot if the USB device is not compatible. The model H works flawlessly as replacement for the old PS/2 connection.
