Windows 10: Microsoft Wired Keyboard 500

Hi, I used to use my Microsoft wired keyboard 500 with my Windows 7 desktop, don't know why but it stopped working later I found out that it doesn't supports Windows 7 anymore. I bought a new Windows 10 laptop, I need an external keyboard, if I use PS/2 to USB converter does the keyboard work or do I need to buy a new one.


Thank you

:)

Keys 3edc will not work Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600

Hi everyone,

I have a Microsoft Wired Keyboard Keyboard 600 and the keys 3 e d and c no longer work. I have:

• cleaned the debris out of the keyboard using the vacuum cleaner
• plugged it into my laptop to use as an external keyboard
• updated the driver through Device Manager
• uninstalled and reinstalled it through Device Manager

and the keys are still not working.

The onscreen keyboard works fine but considering I am using the wired keyboard on a desktop computer, it is hardly functional for typing.

Does anyone have any further hints or tips (aside from buying a new keyboard)?
