thunder.scripts Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I have a PS/2 mouse and a USB keyboard. The only way I can make the keyboard work is connecting it to the ps/2 port through an adapter. But this particular keyboard doesn't work too well with an adapter. Is there any way to use it in the usb port? USB itslef IS working, my webcam, printer and ipod are recognized by osx just fine.

zackint0sh Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 i've heard mixing ps/2 and usb mice/keyboards causes trouble for osx86, i bet your keyboard works if you use a usb mouse.

thunder.scripts Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 I have a Logitech QuickCam Messenger, it works using Macam. However, it's low definition and pretty poor quality. I'll try with a USB mouse and see what happens. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43157-usb-keyboard-and-ps2/#findComment-308613 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jubaoliveira Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 ZACK I've install OS X 1.4.6 inside VMWARE. After booting OS X in VM all appears fine, mouse & keyboard died. Same happen in native mode. Using a script in .kext file, PS2 keyboard run and USB mouse fail, using and using not VMWare. Today I tried use a PS2 Mouse with PS2 Keyboard and failed again !
