Keyboard with laptop

[Don Schmidt]

I find it difficult to use the laptop keyboard; how would one connect a
keyboard to the laptop using an USB port?

Don,

Buy any standard USB keyboard and plug it into your laptop's USB port. Its that simple.

As Donald puts his dunce cap on he says thanks to Glen and Anando!
I think I can handle that.<G>

How about a regular keyboard with one of those plug to USB adapters? I have
one leftover from a mouse.

I thought I had an adapter in the drawer but it was to convert an USB mouse
cord to a mouse port jack.
Went down to Radio Shack and got a slick two cable, one for the mouse and
one for the keyboard on one end and on the other end was a single USB plug
on the other end. Works great.

Thanks again guys.

Don't be surprised if "Alt-Printscreen" stops working. There are some
other oddities caused by the adapters, but if it works for what you need.

Does the laptop have a ps/2 port in back? That's what I often use to
connect a full size keyboard.
