Title: PS2 Keyboard
Post by: Life_is_Yak on September 24, 2017, 09:14:20 AM
Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of fixing a computer that had the motherboard go out.  Rebuilding it with all new hardware and windows 7 doesn't support usb keyboards so I can go through the repair to upgrade my system. I don't want to wipe the windows 7 because it has a few programs I don't have the product keys to any more.

If anyone had an old PS2 keyboard and would be willing to let me borrow it a day or to, maybe a week.  I have several back east in VA.  Never thought I'd need a PS2 device again.

I'm in Salinas so if your close I could drive to meet you or something.

I have one.  You'll need NCKA Express since I'm in Oregon...  PM me if we can find a way to get it down to you.

I could use it any time.  I'm working on a work around by creating a GPT hard drive and mirroring my drive over.  Hopefully I'll be allow to upgrade my windows 7 without losing any programs.  If this doesn't work I'll need to boot into my windows 7 and I'll need a PS2 keyboard.  I'll keep you posted on my progress.

They're still one of the greatest gaming keyboards you can find.
