Apparently some keyboards don't support the PS2 protocol anymore.]]> Sun, 22 May 2022 08:08:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23562&PID=99122&title=usb-to-ps2-keyboard-adapter#99122 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23562&PID=99111&title=usb-to-ps2-keyboard-adapter#99111 Author: bjlockie

I have an asrock b450m pro4 with one ps2 port (coloured purple and green).
I have a usb mouse and usb keyboard.
The goal is to power on with a ps2 keyboard.
I have a purple usb to ps2 adapter that I plugged the usb keyboard into and then connected to the motherboard.

The keyboard lights up (backlight) like it is connected but I can't type.

A. Do I possibly need a splitter cable?
B. Do I possibly need a green ps2->usb adapter (does the colour matter)?
C. Do I possibly need to reconfigure X?]]> Sat, 21 May 2022 05:13:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=23562&PID=99111&title=usb-to-ps2-keyboard-adapter#99111
