    I've read some of these adapters work on computers and some don't, but can't find anything about PS3s. Will one of these allow my PS/2 keyboard to work on my PS3?

    It's like I posted. Some of these adapters work on PCs and some do not, and a PS3 isn't like a PC. I don't want to buy an adapter just to discover it doesn't work.

    I doubt it will, as it's mostly a driver issue that prevents it from working on PC's. It's simpler and cheaper to get a cheap USB keyboard anyway.

    Think i've an adapter and an old ps2 kybd at home, if i do i'll give it a go and let you know how it goes. If not do what den said, you'll get a USB keyboard for sfa these days.

    Actually, in the area I live it's cheaper to buy an adapter than a keyboard.

    Check webshops or Amazon, or even eBay, stuff is dirt cheap on the internet.

    That's disgusting, Capa, and a perfect example of what I mean when I say dirt cheap.

    The PS3 should be able to work with any USB keyboard, I've yet to encounter one that isn't compatible.

    Reece is talking about using an old PS/2 keyboard though and using one of those converter dongles.

    Yep it works, tore the place apart looking for an adapter but PS2 kybd works via it.

    this is what i was using but at the price you're better of with a usb kybd, but i still maintain any convertor will do.
