Windows 10: 5-pin DIN to ps/2 is not working

Yes hey,I recently found my old DIN keyboard and decided I want to use it again. But when I got a 5-min to ps/2 adapter, specifically for keyboard, and plugged it in, it didn’t work. Rebooted, didn’t work. I didn’t even get power because none of the lights were working nor the keyboard. I already tried bios and registery but they didn’t do anything. And I do know that the port works because my old mouse works just fine after plugging it in.So now, is it the adapter or the keyboard or something else? I think someone smart might know the problem. Kindly awaiting

PS/2 Mouse

Hello Igor,

I am aware that PS/2 doesn't allow hot plug. So that did not solve it.

I tried using it on my other desktop, but they didn't work on that desktop either. I tried to plug the mouses in the
6 pole Mini-DIN port using an adapter (An adapter like this one: https://www.reichelt.nl/ps-2-adapte...Y9dig5AIV2vZRCh0_yQIxEAkYBSABEgLTZfD_BwE&&r=1)
in that desktop. And using that port worked for both mouses. But the desktop i am using, doesn't have a 9-pole DIN port.

I turned fast boot off an rebooted my desktop. But didn't work.

I tried these 5 solutions that worked for others:

1. Right-click windows icon > device management > Mouses (Tryed to delete drivers that possible conflicted with the mouses and tryed to update the drivers.)

2. Windows + R > Typed in: Redistry editor > Navigated to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt > 'Modify' on file called 'start' > changed the value from 3 to 1 > restarted my desktop

3. Using troubleshoot

4. Plugged the mouses into a PS/2 to USB converter > Plugged it into my desktop > Turned my desktop on (My desktop makes that sound (when you plug for example an usb stick in your desktop) if i log in.)

5. Tried to install Logitech software and drivers from the official site

I hope you can understand all this, because in my eyes this is a bit messy.

Thanks a lot for helping me out,

Mexi

 

Help keyboard and mouse ps/2, serial and din ports are disable

Hi
Congratulations this is a great forum
I have old machines and several mouse and keyboards with sp/2 , din and serial port
And i like use them sometimes
But Lastest updates win7/8/10 (if you sometime input usb keyboard or mouse in past) disable serial, ps/2 and din ports, mouse and keyboard, into win7/8/10, INCLUDE on boot, do You know why?
I think is the generic driver of chipset and bios of windows for older hardware, that change something in ACPI,
Or
Some Autoexec.bat update change probally.
But i don't know!
I see on internet many people witn the same problem and they can't fix througth update or delete drivers
I think is something on dependency tree instalation drivers
Can You help?
Thanks from Brasil
