Title: Blue cube can't find driver
Post by: merijn on Tue, 11 December 2012, 06:43:18

Hi,

So I got myself such a fancy blue cube ps2 to usb adapter, the one that ought to be working always without driver, but it isn't working. There's no driver found for USBPS2. Since I "usbps2 driver" seems to return pretty generic results in Google I'd thought to ask it here. How can I get it to work? Thanks in advance. This is Windows 7.

Not aware that any exist. Windows should just see it as a keyboard, nothing more.

However, since Windows still lacks a USB device tree (something Macs have had since Mac OS 8 days), it's hard to tell exactly what it sees. Windows 8 shows both a HID keyboard and a HID mouse present when I plug in my blue cube. I guess the Cypress chip does mouse support as well, and they just didn't wire up the mouse socket.

Sounds like the PC is messed up to me.

Or the blue cube is messed up. I've had bad USB HID devices ask for drivers in Windows before. You should probably get a replacement for the blue cube.
