Usb keyboard hi, i have a keyboard with a ps/2 connector, it's connected to a ps/2 to usb adapter. winxp says it found new hardware but cannot recognize it, i tried looking for a driver in the list and no keyboards are there. do i need a usb keyboard driver? the lights are on on the keyboard, but they are dim, when i hit caps lock, they don't react any help would be appreciated btw. my laptop has no ps/2 ports on it

You'll need a valid USB keyboard and not PS2-USB adapter.

If the adapter came with the keyboard, then it "should" work. (I have a USB mouse that came with a legacy PS/2 adapter, for example, that works fine.) I've used adapters such as this one to connect a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2 keyboard to a single USB port without any problem on a variety of laptops and PCs. You might try a different USB port and plugging in the adapter before you turn on the computer.

Hi everyone, thanks for the info, to follow up: i've tried plugging it in b4 i turn on the computer the adapter did not come with the keyboard, is their a fix? about yours - did your keyboard come with the adapter?
