Problem with PS/2 Keyboards
I'm planning to get a cheap keyboard in the future, probably the Logitech UltraX. The problem with it is that it uses PS/2 for its wires and not USB. Does anyone know any good PS/2 to USB adapters and, if not, anyone know any keyboards less than $40?

There's pretty much no reason to bother. PS/2 is great. All good high-end mechanical keyboards will either have PS/2 instead or along with USB.

Re: Problem with PS/2 Keyboards
You can probably find one for less than 5 dollars on newegg. Your computer doesn't have any ps2 ports at all? I know laptops don't anymore, but towers typically still have them.

Logitech Ultra X Flat or Ultra X Premium? Both should have models that are either PS/2 or USB (in fact, PS/2 versions for those keyboards are...hard to come by I thought?)

Similarly PCI is on the way out (replaced with PCIe), DDR2 is on the way out (replaced with DDR3), and IDE/PATA is on the way out (replaced with SATA). You can certainly buy PS/2 to USB converters (though oddly they may be labeled oppositely -- USB to PS/2, though they convert PS/2 keyboards/mice to USB). The one I have introduces a bit of lag though. I don't know that any "good" (lag-free) option exists. For someone who has only USB ports, I'd recommend just buying a decent wired USB keyboard. Wireless is worthless though it's a bit harder to find wired. |
