JustAnotherFarang Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi guys I bought a new keyboard from Tesco Lotus but on arriving home found that it is a ps/2 version. Is it possible to buy a usb adaptor to enable me to use it on my laptop ?? JAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I tried that a couple of years ago and for me it didn't work at all. Maybe it was the PS/2 to USB adapter I bought that was low quality though. So if my experience is anything to go by, it might be best for you to go back and try to trade it back in for a USB version.

CosmicSurfer Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I also tried.. Wouldn't work for me either. And it was either a Logitec or Microsoft keyboard.. so "Name" brands don't help with this issue. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruddick Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I know you may think this is a silly question, but why don't you go back to Lotus and change the thing for the correct type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAnotherFarang Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Cheers guys for the replies.......... I would return it but Tesco's is a 330 plus km round trip........ I wonder if its possible to return it by post and hope they exchange it otherwise it will be an inexpensive doorstop Anyone have the customer care number for the Surat Thani branch.......

RKASA Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I run a laptop on my desk so I use a usb to ps2 which has a connection for both mouse and keyboard, and it works great. I run it in the hub next to the m$ wireless mouse which is also running at the same time. I end up with a pad two mice and two keyboards. But they now have wireless keyboard mouse combos at tesco why not exchange. Being basic HID they should work in everything just fine, no wires is the best way.

The wireless keyboard and mouse seemed expenisive for my liking and seeing as I already have a wireless mouse there didnt seem any point in purchasing it............ and as already stated, its not so easy to exchange when its a 300km plus round journey btw its a ps2 to usb converter I need and not vice versa.......... I already have a usb to ps2 converter which is neither use nor ornament to me right now hahahaha JAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
