ESP32 + USB Keyboard using MOD-USB-RS232

[GeorgeFlorian]

Hello !

I need to hook up a keyboard to an ESP32. The keyboard has USB and I found an OLIMEX USB to RS232 converter.
Can the keyboard send, through the serial, some signals on key press that I can read using the ESP32 ?

Should I try to do that or it will be easier to use a Raspberry ?

This keyboard does not have a PS/2. It only has USB and I only have this one keyboard.
