Not sure of exactly what your question is, but the older keyboards do not work with the new computers or Windows 8. Has nothing to do with the adapter. I wasted a bunch of money on the adapters too --- HaHaHa

You need to find the drivers on the Dell site and download them however my key board adapter did not work right either,the mouse is okay.

i solved this problem once by updating the PS2 drivers on an old NT machine but it was not a trivial task. i suspect that it would be far simpler for you to just get a new PS2 keyboard. as you probably already know, this problem is just the tip of the iceberg for an old computer with no USB ports. time to find $400 for a modern machine.

Yes, color does matter. It is supposed to represent specific wiring for specific use-ie. usb keyboard to ps2 for keyboard on computer (different wiring for green mouse adapter). Mine didn't work. they only work with certain usb keyboards, apparently, not the newer ones.

i just received my converter, plugged it into my computer monitor (with HDMI) and the picture/ sound cuts in and out. The Monitor says "no input detected". i wait a few seconds and it comes back. I wonder if mine is defective?

They shouldn't be. It was the same for me. Either the printer screwed up or your keyboard isn't normal.

When I plugged mine in, I got a "set up your keyboard" screen which showed some things. I THINK there was a link or something there to get more info. If you go into devices and hardware, right-click on the picture of the keyboard and then go to Keyboard Settings, that will get you into the setup stuff. Just keep clicking on the categories and you should find what you want.

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question. I bought this keyboard for my father over a year ago & it works great. All I did was plug it to his PC like any other keyboard and never had a problem. Hopefully Amazon can provide you with more detail information.

Hi Molivia, I have used this USB to MIDI adapter off and on for some time and it works fine for me. I use Windows 7 32 but that should not matter; the signals at the peripheral level should be the same for 64 bit or 32 bit computers. When making your connections be sure to connect the adapter MIDI IN connector to the Keyboard out connector and the MIDI adapter OUT connector to the Keyboard MIDI IN connector. At first blush that may sound weird until you think about, the output from any source usually goes to the input of whatever receiver you plan to send it too. Lights on the adapter body: Red is MIDI power, Yellow is MIDI in and Blue is MIDI out. The lights merely show that the signal is passing thru the MIDI lines. I hope this is helpful, Jim C

I don't know, i have windows 7. If it does work you wont regret the cheap purchase for a decent quality keyboard. If it doesn't you can probably send it back.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

Although my keyboard worked perfect from the start,sounds like yours is defective. I would return it if i were you. Sorry you had a bad experience.

D.Cheng reports he found adaptor. I did too. However, keyboard still does not work when connected. Can D.Cheng tell us how he made the keyboard functional???

Make sure the keyboard is powered on. There is a power switch on the top right which can be overlooked. If it is on then try plugging the USB receiver into a different USB port. Also, make sure range is not an issue. Powered on with the USB receiver plugged in, it should work right away, no drivers needed unless you want to utilize some of the advanced features of the keyboard.

Your keyboard should have shipped with a USB receiver that looks like a small thumb drive. Plug that into one of the computer's USB ports.If your keyboard is charged/has battery life, your keyboard should communicate with the USB receiver without the need for you to install drivers.If you can't find the USB receiver, check the package contents that you threw out, it could be there.

Karen Essig, depends on the one you purchase I purchased a purple and black one both those keyboards are black , the brown one I purchase which didn't work at all had white keyboard. I suggest maybe looking for alittle better made products then these ones because all three of the ones I purchased the keyboards didn't work at all or only some of the keys work.

I'm not sure. Let me test this. The white keyboard leters are very easy to see. The lettering is grey on the white keyboard but they really stand out against the all white background. I have it next to my all black keyboard for my PC right now - perhaps the black keys with white lettering might stand out a tad bit more, but overall the all white is easier to see. Not really enough difference to count so just go with the one that matches your device best.

Sorry, can't answer your question. I only use it with my Dell XP 8100 PC. I was expecting a backlit keyboard, but is working fine in dim light with the big keys/letters.
