My 10 year old Microsoft egonomic keyboard has a round connection point that is orange. Should this work for it?

Hi I did some testing after my previous message and found that the orange should be plugged into the purple connector on the adapter. Mike

Yes. Your keyboard has a PS2 connection. It will plug into either the green or the purple ends. The other can be used for an old mouse.

I guess it does not matter if the old mouse is wireless or not it would work in both cases !! but if the old one is wireless it will take up a port and so will the key board !!but the mouse that comes with the keyboard works great , I would keep the old one as a back up !!

There should be no issues with using this on almost any device that takes a USB plug. That said I have not used this particular keyboard with that particular operating system

It works in the BIOS so it acts as the base level acting as a physical keyboard so yes. I don't know if there is software for it.

You are welcome... It is different for every keyboard but I would imagine that the Microsoft devices wld use the same utility.. It is just a driver really.. Same goes for their wireless mouse

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question. I bought this keyboard for my father over a year ago & it works great. All I did was plug it to his PC like any other keyboard and never had a problem. Hopefully Amazon can provide you with more detail information.

I don't know, i have windows 7. If it does work you wont regret the cheap purchase for a decent quality keyboard. If it doesn't you can probably send it back.

If you are referring to the keyboard that I bought from amazon some time ago, it works great. Have had it for some time and use it all time.

I'm using the unit with an old style tactile -feel keyboard and a USB mouse. Works flawlessly. As to your specific use, the only way is to contact the manufacturer of both pieces of equipment; or buy it and try it.

If you can get it to connect you will be ok but I'm not sure you will be able to get it to connect via Bluetooth they use USB keys but you can just use the two different Bluetooth keys and it will work but you have to use both keys one from the new keyboard and the old one for the mouse.

Basically anything that works on your keyboard now should work with the adapter. I would give it a try.

I, like Sandy, am using this keyboard on essentially the same machine. I just plugged it in, and everything worked fine. All buttons seemed to be already configured (email, calculator, etc). It was truly "plug and play".I would suspect a faulty keyboard. Do you possibly have another computer to try it on, or perhaps a friend or neighbor who would let you try it out on their computer? Just a thought...Good luck!

Hi Molivia, I have used this USB to MIDI adapter off and on for some time and it works fine for me. I use Windows 7 32 but that should not matter; the signals at the peripheral level should be the same for 64 bit or 32 bit computers. When making your connections be sure to connect the adapter MIDI IN connector to the Keyboard out connector and the MIDI adapter OUT connector to the Keyboard MIDI IN connector. At first blush that may sound weird until you think about, the output from any source usually goes to the input of whatever receiver you plan to send it too. Lights on the adapter body: Red is MIDI power, Yellow is MIDI in and Blue is MIDI out. The lights merely show that the signal is passing thru the MIDI lines. I hope this is helpful, Jim C

I have an old E Machines keyboard that I love, worn off letters and all and it works GREAT with it. It's basically the old plug in end plugging into a piece to plug it into the newer ports.

Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. SHARKK responded to my review to say that would fix it in the next release, but I'm not sure if they can do a firmware fix for existing models. I would definitely contact SHARKK support to ask how they intend to fix your problem: either a firmware fix or exchange your keyboard for one that works correctly. They seem to be genuinely concerned about providing good support. UPDATE JAN 22, 2014: I received the new version of the case yesterday from SHARKK. I charged the new KB before using it, then had it on for several hours today. I'm happy to report that it has not lost its connection yet. Much improved.

Yeah its just a type 7 not a windows 7 keyboard. All you need is a free USB port.

Should work fine; works perfectly on 7, and there are no fundamental operational differences in 7 and XP as far as peripherals like keyboards, mice, etc. Good luck.
