Hrm, strange that a nice keyboard like that comes as USB only. My Adesso
comes natively as PS/2 but has a PS/2 to USB converter that works
flawlessly. The idea is that PS/2 is better for keyboards because it
allows you to simultaneously press more keys at once than USB can handle.
Anyway, I've had really bad luck with off the shelf adapters. You are
probably OK with just running it as USB.
