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?

Will a PS/2 keyboard to USB adapter work on a 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.Conrack wrote:The PS3 should be able to work with any USB keyboard, I've yet to encounter one that isn't compatible.

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.
