we bought a new PC but no PS2 keyboard plug-in.

USB Keyboard Problems

i've had this problem before. its with the mobo/bios not detecting the fact that its a usb keyboard instead of a ps2 keyboard.

2 solutions
1. optimal solution is that you have a usb AND ps2 port on the keyboard, on a splitter thing. plug in the ps2 port too. or if you have an old usb to ps2 adapter laying around...
2. go into bios and enable the setting for usb keybd. obviously, this doesn't work so hot if the usb keyboard is the only one you have...heh.

 

Do PS2 Keyboards work on Windows 10

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 does still accept PS/2 inputs. However there might be issues with drivers, this forum discussion explains the process for troubleshooting it.

Below is a direct quote from the Microsoft engineer in that thread detailing the various troubleshooting methods:

I don't have a PS/2 keyboard to test these for you.

 

PS2 Keyboard not registering either parenthesis key

I have a Z170 chipset motherboard with a keyboard PS2 connector. I have several IBM Model M PS2 keyboards that recently stopped registering both the left and right parenthesis keystrokes. All other special characters work. The parenthesis keys DO work
in the DOS window for Command Prompt. I do not know when this behavior started but it would have been recently.

I have tried all of the following with no success:

1. Turning on and off Filter Keys

2. Removing the PS2 keyboard, both HID Devices in the Device Manager and then scanning for new hardware

I am at a loss but it is a Windows 10 issue as can be seen by the issue is repeatable with multiple PS2 keyboards and is not an issue in the DOS Command Prompt box. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
