I've experimented with a bunch of different ps/2 jacks and the ones that ApeShit posted have worked the best for me. Another way you could reinforce the pins is to use heat shrink tubing.

Yess i think this thing can work, i have think use usb cable it have 4 "track" 2 for power and 2 for data but if you solder 4 cable of gameboy in respective points you can get usb cable link smile  only cons is not compatible with all gameboy, only with your mod.   Remember the view point of female pin is inverted point in male.

Wicked, my PS/2 jacks and plugs came in the mail today. Time to play stingy scientist.

Mmm, you would use two keyboard at the same time?

No no, not at all.
I mean to use the PS/2 ports in lieu of a link cable.
I don't have a link cable and they're too expensive where I live, so if I'm gonna mod in a PS/2 port for a keyboard in my Gameboy, why not make it multi-purpose and function as a link cable as well?

I added something to your picture in the OP.
Male connectors at the bottom, from the front.

Not possible. You have to choose either sync or keyboard in lsdj.

Yeah of course, but I didn't mean have sync and kbd at the same time, I just meant having the option to use the PS/2 connector as both regular sync AND kbd.

In theory, would it be possible to hook up pin 2/4 on the GB port to pin 2/6 on the mini-DIN socket and use this as a ghetto link cable, while also retaining keyboard functionality?
I've got a bunch of sockets lying around, but no link cable, and I've recently gotten a 2nd LSDj cart.

I'll probably have to solder my own cable to make sure the connections go in the right places, but it should be possible yeah?

Ah... for a second I thought this was an instructional for wirelessly connecting a keyboard to the Gameboy. But this is still really cool.

Use a jack with a nut like the one Apeshit posted a pic of, so the force is applied there instead.
Or find a connector with only one jack, so the back is metal and the pins are on the bottom.
Or, if you want to fixate the jack using the current method, you could maybe put hot glue behind the jack. But then you may still have the same problem, and it's also harder to bend back the pins if there's a problem.

Epoxy or a glue would secure it for a while. This is why I linked to the panel mount jack, it's the best bet for something like this.

Thanks i try, or i try to put some resistance between connector...... if i seen the ps2 connector ready for case i'll put this

Well, if you insist. It seems like you're putting the connector in the space on the side without being fixed to the case in any way. Every time you insert the plug, you apply a small bit of pressure to the pins on the back, and they might bend and short in the long term. This is not an immediate problem, but worth keeping in mind.
