usb --> ps2

BArra · 2003-11-26 12:37:32

right ive got a laptop and it has no slot to put a ps2 keyboard into.. which leaves me only to use a usb keyboard which i dont have, and an easier solution maybe to simply buying a usb keyboard would be to buy one of those adapter things, i know they come as ps2 to usb but i need it the opposite way is it possible to buy…

I got one for my keyboard and one for my mouse when i bought a logitech set a couple of months back. Peats do have some, you can see one of them here. Though its not in stock at the moment and is kinda pricey.

Maplin would proably have them, they have a lot of that kind of stuff.

i'm looking for exact same thing BArra. Asked the same question on the elara board and they have them in stock for €3.59. thread here. Not really worth it unless you're ordering other stuff at the same time as delivery is 9 euro.
