WauloK Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm using a MS Nat Kbd Pro and not even the NUMLOCK or CAPSLOCK keys light up at all. I'm using it with an Evoluent Verticalmouse (which surprisingly is detected by manufacturer and model and even the scrollwheel works). I tried the trick of plugging the keyboard into the mouse PS2 slot.. no go. The USB part of the keyboard works tho as my Motorola BT USB dongle is detected and seems to be fine. Just the PS2 part isn't working so none of my keys on my keyboard work for some reason. Any ideas?

WauloK Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 ok i got lotsa USB -> PS2 adapters at home so will try that out this evening. I was hoping I could go USB for both or at least keep my mouse USB. No probs tho. If it works, great Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5357-microsoft-natural-keyboard-pro-wont-work/#findComment-34200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
