Hi, its the adapter I seek, not the keyboard..I have a fine USB keyboard I am using right now. My hope is that, with an adapter, I can free up the USB port currently servicing said keyboard though. On Tue, 22 Oct 2024, Lennart Sorensen wrote:

Hi all, Visited Canada Computers this afternoon. Largely positive, although I was told by an obviously young sales person that USB keyboard adapter do not exist?
If Canada computers actually sells them would love a link.
If you mean allowing a USB keyboard to be used on a machine that has a PS/2 keyboard port then I do not expect Canada Computers would sell that. I am pretty sure they exist, but the demand would be extremely low and hence it is a specialy item.
There is a project called hidman that appears to do it. I just can't find anyone selling them.
Some keyboards with USB plugs also do PS/2 protocol and just need a simple plug adapter, but that is not the case for all keybboards.
