RE: [H] USB - PS2 convertor and Microsoft Ergo 4000

Nah, I only bought the KVM a few weeks back and I don't want to change it either :-( (Belkin OmniView SOHO F1DS104T) It would cost much more to replace the KVM. If I can find something close to the Ergo 4000 I would be happy. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROT

Because the Ergo4000 uses the new managable HID, there is no way to make it PS2 compatible. This is because it can be mapped to work as multiple devices as well as having programmability. So, you'll never (never) find a PS2 connector that will work with this. -Original message- From:

Regular PS2/USB keyboards autodetect which interface they are plugged into and change their signalling/power accordingly. I'm guessing that the Ergo 4000 is using a new controller chip from the previous models and does not support this dual mode of operation. Seems a little odd, the savings in that

Yeh Mine replaced the original MS Natural. From what I've read it probablly wont last as long but my Natural keyboard must be at least 8 years old. I love it but I have to get it working with the PS2 connection :-( -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On B

Don't know why it won't work in PS2, but I bought a Ergo 4000 a while back for my home machine. I like it quite a bit--I was avoiding all MS keyboards since the original MS Natural, but I finally found one that I think is a replacement for it. The only real downside for me was that it is differe
