Yes. But if anyone is interested in doing a ps2 to usb conversion internally, please note that the little green adapter will not work. You need the laptop version that gives you 2 ps2's off a single USB. The green slug is just rearranging pins.

The 2 port adapter is ideal for me, as I can steal power off the second port for EL wire, and it gets the USB in so I can steal it's power for the front lighting. I'm thinking of uncasing a tiny passive USB hub and adding USB ports to the keyboard as well.

The front light is going to be ghetto fabulous, keeping to the theme of this mod. Just a 12 inch CC tube with all but a thin line painted flat black. The one I have here is the pretty kind with the square blocks at both ends. It's going to be jacked up on 1 inch chrome hex stand-offs. luckily there is plenty of room for the inverter inside the keyboard after I cut out some structural webbing. I'll be doing some discreet venting of the area for heat dissipation.
