If an adapter (PS/2 to USB or PS/2 to AT) is being used, verify that it is the adapter that was included with the keyboard or that the keyboard supports adapting to a different port. For example, the Internet Keyboard does not adapt to a USB port, and a PS/2 to USB adapter will not work. It does not include an adapter. Method 3: The Keytronics keyboard on which the Metadot "Das Keyboard" is based is an excellent choice for under $20. - get the PS/2 model. And some mobos have a jumper as well as a BIOS setting to enable power-up from PS/2 keyboard. The jumper physically connects the +5V standby power to the PS/2 jack. So no worky w/o the jumper..bh. Does your old mechanical keyboard or Model M no longer work on your new PC that lacks PS/2 ports? With this adapter, that's not a problem whatsoever. This ad Dear Arduino community, I am making an Arduino-based device, which shall be recognized as a pure PS/2 keyboard and shall forward Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo gamepad input as PS/2 key presses for my MS-DOS Laptop (kinda like this thing, only with some of my quality-of-life improvements). My project is based on a Pro Micro (ATmega32U4) but the problem persists with Arduino Nano (ATmega328 With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log". Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form). Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. PS/2 barcode scanners are "keyboard wedge" scanners that plug in between a PS/2 keyboard and a computer's PS/2 port. When a barcode is scanned, they send the data to the computer as if it were keyboard input. The ZEBEX Z-3000 barcode scanner has a set of configuration barcodes. Try to use those to get the scanner working if when you try Workarounds. Tried using a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, but the problem persists. Interestingly, the USB port seems to give the keyboard more power, as the LEDs flash brightly when plugged into the USB port (full power) but dimly when in the PS/2 port (low power). I wanted to try a KVM switch, but the maximum resolution for KVMs (immediately available USB is designed for hot-plugging. Quite often, PS/2 mice talk directly to the keyboard controller; not only does it often not initialize the mouse when plugged in after system boot, it doesn't and can't notify the system that the mouse has been connected. 3 - To fix the keyboard, click directly on the 4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 folder (don't expand it). Once you click the folder, you'll see registry value files appear on the right hand side. 4 - The file you're looking for is the last one in the group -- the one named UpperFilters. Assuming you want to use the passive PS2-to-USB adapter you just bought to plug it into a USB port on your Windows 10 PC, then this will not work. The passive PS2-to-USB adapters require the keyboard or mouse to be multi-protocol: The keyboard or mouse must natively speak the USB protocol in addition to the PS2 protocol. 1) Might be your PS/2 port is not compatible to fast boot. Fast boot does not initialize all components, so your disconnected PS/2 device stays disconnected. It disconnects when the PSU is off, it does not disconnect when the PSU is on standby. Easiest way to check this would be to disable fast boot temporarily. Well, after plugging and unplugging and rebooting several times, I think I finally am able to boot successfully with only the PS/2 keyboard. However. the other half of this problem is to get the PS/2 mouse port working also. Now, when I power up with the PS/2 keyboard and both kinds of mouses connected, the system doesn't recognize the keyboard!! Device manager > keyboards > rightclick steelseries ps/2 > update driver > chose my own driver (the bottom one) > let me choose over a list of drivers > choose steelseries ps/2 driver > next next next > reboot. hope this helps. bobafett2010. OP • 3 yr. ago. The keyboard is wireless and doesn't work either. I am using an old Logitech keyboard for now that works in the PS/2 but i can not finish the install because I need the mouse to do something. I have tried multiple mice and keyboards. Only the PS/2 works. None of my mice work. I just got an MSI GS65 Stealth Thin laptop today. It has a Steelseries per key RGB keyboard that works fine when booting. The problem arises after that. All of the number keys and function keys won't light up. I downloaded the Steelseries Engine 3 to try to fix it, but to no avail. DnBo1.
