Don't know why it won't work in PS2, but I bought a Ergo 4000 a while back
for my home machine. I like it quite a bit--I was avoiding all MS keyboards
since the original MS Natural, but I finally found one that I think is a
replacement for it. The only real downside for me was that it is different
enough to make going between it and even another MS Natural (pre-4000)
difficult. To that end, I decided to make my input devices the same for both
my home machines and work machine. Now both have Ergo 4000's with MX1000
mice. :)
My only real concern now is that I very much doubt that it will last nearly
as long as those old MS Naturals did, but oh well.

Subject: [H] USB - PS2 convertor and Microsoft Ergo 4000
Hi,
Last week I got a Microsoft Ergo 4000 keyboard. This is just the best
keyboard I have ever used. The only issue is it wont work with a usb -
ps2 convertor. I need this to work to plub it into my KVM which is PS2
only.
I did some searches and found everyone saying the keyboard will not work
with a PS2 adaptor. Does anyone know why?
Is there maybe a more expensive adaptor that will work? I really can't
live without this keyboard now its just so nice but I really have to get
it working through the KVM. It doesn't look like they make a PS2 version
either :-(
Thanks
