PC Peripherals PS2 -> USB

[challapradyumna]

I recently upgraded to P5KC mother board and it has only one PS2 Port . I bought a USB to PS2 converter from the local shop.

Problem 1 : It does not detect 2 keys pressed on the keyboard .

Problem 2 : It does not detect the extra buttons of my Logitech Mouse .

Any Solution?

Well, try to see if the issue persists with another PS/2 to USB converter.

I bought a new one because i thought that the older one @ home is not working .

the not "detecting more than two keys" problem was also there with my "PS/2 to USB" converter(used with keyboard), I think it is some limitation of the tech behind the converter

I bought a TVS Gold PS2 keyboard today as USB was not available and a converter to plugin to USB. When Connected I am having ghosting problem. 2nd key press is stopping the first key sequence. Is it a problem withthe cob\nverter?

I read somewhere that the Belkin converter has better technology and can handle this.

Does any one has any experience on it?

Even I faced the "two keys not detected" problem with my cheapo PS2->USB Converter.

faced the same problem with cheap ps2 to usb converters.
I went ahead and bought a native USB keyboard.


Edit: Din't see the thread date

Glad that I didn't buy the PS/2 version, ordered an USB one online at hardware.in

Try returning it back for an USB one, I'm not sure whether a better converter would help.
