Maybe, but I already have the "non USB" one.

I want to hook the keyboard to the serial port (RS232) and use the
"sunkbd" kernel module to use the keyboard. I don't configure the BIOS
everyday and so I don't need a PS/2 converter.
So all I need are good instructions which parts I'll need (The parts
should be available at
www.reichelt.de) and good information on how to
solder the stuff together.
Thank you very much in advance
