Hi all! I purchased a nifty keyboard from Ideazon (would not suggest their products by the way...you will see why in a sec).
The keyboard is a PS/2 and my (6 month old) laptop does not have a PS/2 port. So I went out and got a PS/2 to USB adapter and the keyboard does not work. Their customer "support" states that you cannot use an adapter, you HAVE to use a PS/2 port. (they also stated that their web site says that..it says that you need a ps/2 port but does not say that you cannot use an adapter). I thought that the purpose of the adapter was so that you could do stuff like this. :upset:
Question (I know, "finally! he asked the question!"): Is there anything that one can do to "fool" the keyboard or computer into thinking that the adapter is not being used so that I can use the keyboard? This is very frustrating as they seem to be very reluctant to give me my money back. :upset:
Any help is appreciated. TIA!
