    I just bought a new alienware laptop. Im selling my desktop so the laptop will be my only computer. Im trying to install a ps2 keyboard using the usb adapter for my laptop because its kinda hard to use the laptop keyboard.

    The only problem is, is that there is no drivers for this keyboard since it was origionally for a ps2 connection. Is there anything I can do to use it as a secondary keyboard when plugged in?

    The drivers should be for the adapter. You might want to get a better one those things go bad all the time. We use those all the time at my work and we have a bunch for when they just stop working.

    Ok well I didnt explain everything so here I go...

    Since I just bought me an alienware I have pretty much no money except for a few bucks. Im paying off the person that bought it for me and I will have payed them off after selling my desktop. Im waiting to get me the logitech keyboard with the money I get for christmas thats why I just need a quick fix for about 2 weeks.

    Thats why I just need this thing to last me 2 weeks and then im good.

    I can do that but since I already have the adapter I would rather use my external keyboard
