Adapter to use Amiga 4000 keyboard on Amiga 3000

[Soulshaker]

I have what I am assuming is an A4000 keyboard, with a 6-pin mini-DIN connector. My A3000 only accepts a 5-pin DIN keyboard connection.

I understand that just trying to slap any adapter in the middle can cause hardware issues, so I wanted to make sure this adapter in particular would work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/KENTEK-Female.../dp/B07KVF5TV9

Thank you so much for any guidance. I've been out of the Amiga scene for a while and searching the Board, Amiga storefronts, and other places for this information didn't seem to yield any definitive solutions.

i have used a standard din to mini-din adapter and been able to use my A4000 keyboard on an A3000 without problems.

Awesome, I appreciate the fast reply. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

I forgot to ask if you could recommend a particular adapter. I'm not convinced the one I am looking at will work, as it appears to be meant for PS/2 device.

Any standard PC PS/2 keyboard adapter should work.
