Hi all,
I've just received a Plum mx96 from Taobao (which I went through hell to get...) Disappointingly I have found that it is the wired version. That would've been fine by itself but after trying it with a PS/2 adapter which it was said to work with, I get nothing but a power light from the Esc LED.
Now I've gone ahead and done something interesting to see if the inputs are actually being transferred through the PS/2 adapter. I've gone and connected it to a blue cube via a PS/2 adapter like this:
- Keyboards native USB -> PS/2 adapter (from a Filco if that makes a difference) -> Blue cube -> computer usb port
Interestingly, when plugged in this way, I can get the keyboard to switch between the NKRO and 6KRO modes via Fn+F12 (Esc LED blinks twice to confirm the change) but there is still no other input. It seems to be sending some kind of signal through PS/2 but keystrokes aren't.
When plugged in via PS/2 only, the ESC light stays on when the computer is powered down but turns off as soon as it turns on. Fn+F12 does nothing plugged in this way. I'm thinking this has something to do with the keyboard starting in NKRO mode over USB. I haven't figured out a way to make it start in 6KRO mode. I've tried holding Fn+F12 while plugging it in but still no dice.
Does anybody have any experience getting it to work over PS/2? Maybe someone with the wireless version can give it a try to see if they changed it for the wired version?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
