Hey Cred Forums, I just bought a USB to PS/2 purple connector for my mechanical keyboard

Hey Cred Forums, I just bought a USB to PS/2 purple connector for my mechanical keyboard.

I can't get it to detect either my mechanical keyboard nor my old keyboard when using the PS/2 slot.

What could be the problem?

What makes you think that would even work in the first place?

You need the double.
Unless that guy has a board it's not converting signal.
>also /sqt

Oh okay, I guess I'll get 1 day shipping on the double then

...

Im having trouble finding one for sale, can someone give me a link?

go to a chinese store, you have 80% chance of finding lots of them.

Did you try turning it off and on again? Serious question

yeah this guys is right
my computer has trouble recognizing new ps/2 devices until i reboot once or twice

It's the nature of ps/2, it always is recognized at boot

Tried restarting, looked through BIOS. All I could find was a setting that recognized them before and during post, but it changed nothing.

I went and borrowed a new keyboard ps/2 converter from the shop down the street and Im still not getting anything.

Why do you keep converting still images to a video file

not him but my guess is the reduced file size

I had this problem, I think I had to go to bios and enable PS/2

Like I said, I looked through my bios and this is the only thing in my manual that even mentions PS/2

Chapter 2: BIOS information
PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Support [Auto]
Select any of these settings when PS/2 keyboard and mouse are installed. These settings
only apply when fastboot is enabled.

[Auto]
For a faster POST time, PS/2 devices are only available when the system
boots up or rebooted when the PS/2 devices are not reconnected or
changed. If you disconnect or change the PS/2 devices before restarting
the system, PS/2 devices will not be available and BIOS will not be
accessible via PS/2 devices.

[Full
Initialization]
For full system control, PS/2 devices are available during POST at any
circumstances. This process extends POST time.

[Disabled]
For a fastest POST time, all PS/2 devices are not available until your
computer enters the operating system.

I changed it to full and nothing is any different.

At the computer store, I tried hooking my keyboard up to one of his computers, and it didn't register any signal, even though he confirmed that PS2 keyboards work on his machine.

Ox

...

that's literally what the adapter is designed to do

You know that keyboards sometime don't support the USB to PS2 feature right?

...

Needs more grease.

...

what is ox?

What's the point of doing that? Wouldn't an adapter create input lag?

for no key rollover.

I'm on the phone with customer support, they're claiming that the keyboard is supposed to have NKRO just straight out of the box through USB when it obviously rolls over at 2 keys
