Well, when I bought my computer, I wasnt as computer savy as I am now, and it didnt come with some small things, so whatever.

Well, I was wondering, if I bought a USB, to PS2 cable would it really be true PS2? So, it can be faster and let me hit all the keys at once? I only have USB's in the back of my computer.
So, if I got a USB, to PS2, to USB (back of the PS2 cable) would it be true PS2 and have the capability's or what?

Sorry for my noob question and thanks!

I guess I've never tried that myself. But no, I highly doubt that it would even power up and recognize the keyboard, let alone make it a full PS/2 keyboard. I think as long as the last connection is going to be USB, you're not going to have a PS/2 keyboard.

I think the only advantage of a PS/2 board is you can roll your face on the keyboard for hours without issues, and USB you can only hit 10 at a time? (Roll your face on the NUM pad only?)

But if your Mobo doesn't have a built in PS/2 connection, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Unless of course you are absolutely concerned about face rolling.
