Just got a g80-1800, but it's connector is AT
« on: Fri, 06 June 2008, 19:40:23 »
My g80-1800 has just arrived.
It surprised me with an AT connector on it. I thought it was with an usb.
I think the description just confused me.
Anyway, I want the connector to be USB, so I can use the keyboard on both the desktop and laptop.
But I had no luck google searching an AT to usb adapter.
Using two adapters from AT-> ps2 -> usb is another option. It just cost 10 more bucks and it might not work.
Do I have another options?

AT to PS/2, PS/2 to USB is the only way I know of.

i used to use a compact keyboard with an AT connecter.
AT -> PS/2 -> USB solution worked pretty well.

If you're paying $10 for an AT to PS/2 adapter, you're paying WAY too much - I think the most I've ever paid for one is $5. The only difference between AT and PS/2 is the connector, they use the same protocol, so all the adapter is doing is wiring an AT socket to a PS/2 plug.
