Title: PS/2 to usb?
Post by: PspKicks316 on November 03, 2008, 04:27:46 PM: I've looked EVERYWHERE and have yet to find anything.
SO, can someone help me out here?
I want to hardwire my ps/2 keyboard and mouse to usb.
Each type of ps/2 connector only uses 4 wires, so I'm good.
Now, how the hell do I do this?

Yes, because dollar stores carry electronics and computer parts.
Not.

My grandma has one. I'll probably just ask her for hers, since she doesn't own anymore ps/2 things.

agreed.... but hey do u really like want one or you just want to use the keyboard??? if you just want to use that keyboard, just chop off the ps/2 connector and solder the wires to a usb one...... but its your decision.. do what you feel like :yess:

I don't think a USB/PS2 adapter counts as a computer part.
And pound land over here carries web cams among other things.
