WASD Code PS2 Troubles
« on: Fri, 20 November 2015, 13:41:09 »
Got my new WASD Code keyboard today and have the following issue with it:

When using the PS2 adapter, my PC doesn't recognizes it. The keyboard blinks when booting, but not even the BIOS detects it.
USB works perfectly fine, but I'd like to use NKRO.

Strange enough, but when booting with another keyboard (Filco) via PS2, everythings normal and after booting I can also switch to the Code and then even the Code works via PS2... After a reboot it does not again!

Changing the PS2 adapter doesn't help.
Did a BIOS upgrade too, but that didn't help.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Does the keyboard specs say PS/2 support?

Not all do anymore.

Specifications say "Interface: USB / PS2"
Furthermore there is a PS/2 adapter inside the package "to access N-KRO or legacy systems"

Might want to fire off an email to WASD support. They're pretty good about responding within 24-48 hours.

WASD support is incredibly awesome. They replaced a CODE board of mine that had it's backlight die after a nasty static shock. No questions, just shipped them the old board and the new one came a few days later.

I have heard great things about their support, another reason I picked up my V2.

told me that some motherboard/computer combo's don't work with PS2 and I should check another PC first.
