Not working with Sony VAIO desktop keyboard (PS/2). After that I bought a Logitech keyboard (USB connection) from Walmart.

You can have up to six keys pressed down at one time. If you have a PS/2 port on your motherboard you can use the USB to PS/2 adapter to get N-Key rollover, which means you can have an unlimited amount of keys pressed simultaneously, and they'll all be registered. Have a nice day!

Yes and No. PS2 controllers and peripherals will only work on PS2 software/games. That is if the PS2 software is compatible with the PS3. I have not found any PS2 accessories that will work for PS3 software/games. There is backwards compatibility. PS3 controllers will work for PS2 games. With the exception of the PS3 Move Controllers, most PS3 controllers will operate most PS2 software.

My Keytronic keyboard uses a USB connector but I think you can still find Keytronics that use the old-fashioned PS2 connector. USB is the right way to go. I like the feel of the Keytronic keys both for tactile feedback and for size and height of the keys. It is not particularly sleek-looking but I wouldn't have any other brand. And the price is right!

Hi: It seems that not all keyboards will work. I tried the individual adapter types and some very similar looking to the SANOXY over the counter and much more expensive cable type adapters - no luck. Then I bought this adapter since the price was so low that I could not loose much. When it finally arrived from China I plugged it in and things are working fine: ie one PS2 keyboard and One PS2 mouse into one USB2 port. If your Keyboard will work is anybody's guess. If your keyboard is important to you, just try it - it worked for me.

If your keyboard has a pair of PS2 connectors on it, this ought to work fine. One connector is for the keyboard and the other for the built-in touchpad or mouse. Mark Kinsler, Lancaster, Ohio USA

i solved this problem once by updating the PS2 drivers on an old NT machine but it was not a trivial task. i suspect that it would be far simpler for you to just get a new PS2 keyboard. as you probably already know, this problem is just the tip of the iceberg for an old computer with no USB ports. time to find $400 for a modern machine.

Connected via the USB->PS/2 converter the documentation on the keyboard says that there is no limit. I have not actually tested this, as the machine I use it with does not have a PS/2 keyboard port, but with USB I have yet to run into any problems and there have been a few situations where I have five or six keys pressed at a time.

It will but you will need a micro to usb adapter in order for the keyboard to work.

No support for keyboard wedge. Unless you have an adapter for usb to ps2 connection but it only comes standard with usb.

Jeff, sorry I don't have a PS3 to check, the playstation community site maintains a list of keyboards and mice that users have checked, that would probably be where I would look. It does work well with a PC and an Android smart display I have so I think it would work for you, but have no way to be sure.

Yes it will. However, unless you can actually test your current control board on the machine with the key pad panel, this would be an indication from my experience that you have a bad key panel, not a bad control board.

No, it is a USB version, but you should be able to get a USB-to-PS/2 adapter/converter.

I use that Adapter mainly for PS2 controllers in Windows 7. It might help you, but I would first try Motion in Joy and/or SCP DS3

It will work because it's standar midi device, but I don't recommend this, mine, a complete section of the keyboard stop working (8 keys). Look for a M-Audio.

The retail or home keyboard often have extra dedicated keys for you mail program, sound volume, DVD controls, etc. Business keyboard are just stand 101-kyed boards.The connector you are looking for is a PS2 round connector. You can get an adaptor that accepts the now-standard USB flat connector and allows you to plug into the round, usually purple PS2 keyboard connector at the top back of your computer.
