Wireless USB keyboard solution for CD32? (and A2000/A3000/A4000)

I'd like to connect a modern wireless USB keyboard (e.g. Logitech) to my CD32.

There was this nice adapter that did just that using the CD32's AUX port but it's unfortunately out of production:

Is there a current alternative to this? Or perhaps anyone have one lying around and willing to sell it to me?

Sidenote: my CD32 riser board does have a PS/2 keyboard port, so maybe a PS/2 => USB would do. However, I don't know if any USB wireless receiver today supports PS/2 - so a simple green adapter would probably not suffice.

Ok, another idea. The riser I have has a PS/2 connector.

How about an active USB => PS/2 converter + some generic logitech wireless keyboard?

Or maybe a wireless PS/2 keyboard if it can be hunted down.

Anyone have experience with any of these options?
1) CD32 Aux to USB
2) PS2 to USB (active converter)
3) PS2 native wireless
