Does this MS 3000 key board come with USB connection?

Hi there. Yes it does. In fact that is the only option to plug into your PC or laptop. But honestly I don't like this new layout. The keys are smaller. The Delete key is bigger (good thing) but the Enter key is smaller. There is not flip up tabs in the back to tilt it higher. It has a curved contour on the keyboard which you can get used to, but if you are like me and have to access PC's with different keyboards, this makes it more difficult to use different ones. I'm going use the two I bought but next time I will try to get the MS 2000 or a similar keyboard (I'll have to actually touch them first). Good luck! Hi there. Yes it does.

The one's that I have ordered connect via USB, they do not have extra ports as part of the keyboard.

The keyboard connects to your computer via USB connection. There are no auxiliary USB ports on the keyboard for other devices to connect to, though.

No; this keyboard was designed in the early 2000's it is USB w/ two USB ports on the back to run other things. It is a great keyboard for FPS; every key you might need is BIG and right where you would want them... but as far as I know it doesn't even have an update for the key mapping software for Win 7; and I have looked...I still use it because I got spoiled using on Black Hawk Down....a LONG time ago, lol

Nope, it connects via USB. The board also has a USB port on it so you can add a mouse say.

That's a good question. I only have the keyboard but the key board alone uses one USB port so my guess would be 2 USB Ports for the 2 together

a ps/2 (female) to usb (male) connector is what I used and it works fine on my older pc, (core 2 duo) (windows 7) which has both USB and USB 2 interfacesI don't know about USB 3 slots, but your computer probably has a combination of them, so it should work. I can't vouch for windows 8, if that's what you are running, since I haven't tried the keyboard on a windows 8 machine. It's a killer keyboard.

I think the answer is YES. As for the Microsoft brand that i use, you will definitely need a separate USB transceivers for the keyboad and mouse. But I know if a Logitech brand (i don't have the model name off my head now, but a friend of mine bought it from Amazon last year) that uses a single universal Bluetooth usb transceiver for both keaboard and mouse.

No. It is a plug and play and it works very well. Your computer will not have to find and accept the key board or mouse and The cord is nice and lengthy.

No, it doesn't come with one. I don't think you can connect one; while it has a USB input, it's really for connecting a flash drive.

To be honest, I don't know. But it comes with its own USB adaptor, so basic functions should work. But Windows-specific keys probably don't.

Yes. I should work on any recent Windows-based system with a USB port. There's no special software required or included with USB keyboards like this one.

Yes it has USB connectivity. Even with the Windows 7 update it is touch and go as to whether it will work with Windows 7.

I would say no. I have the Logitech's and they are very dependent on the Unifying USB stick. However I found a number for the Microsoft Order Desk. I don't know how current it is but if you get ahold of them just tell them what you need and for what keyboard (800) 360-7561

Sorry I can't answer your question I ordered the key board for my 9" Toshiba USB keyboard.

This keyboard doesn't have an nkro mode to my knowledge....in the vast majority of cases, NKRO is PS/2 only, while this is a USB board

I think it had a usb cable that was hardwired to the keyboard, but I don't actually remember. The fact is, the keys were in awkward positions for me. I used it for an hour and could not type fast without making errors. I gave it to a friend who is a 'hunt and peck' typist and has failing eyesight.

The key board has usb b/male. I think you will need an adapter cord that is male female. Amazon was the only place that had vendors for my part, especially if your plug in entry is a micro mini female.

Yes, I have attached a keyboard to the standard USB port and it worked fine. I don't use a keyboard but I did try one and it worked.
