But again if you have already bought it then this instructables is gonna teach you how to accomplish the feat. Especially cool is the 20 3-in-1 PCJoy Box, which accepts PSone, PS2. Very nice to have one more empty USB connector Therefore my suggestion for you all if you are buying for a Personal Computer is to buy a PS/2 keyboard in place of USB. use other controllers as a USB gamepad, you will need a hardware converter. (ii)It is gonna use some kind of processor time since it has plugged into a USB. Since the flaws for buying a USB keyboard are (i) It is gonna occupy one of the USB slots in your computer and hence there will be no space for USB when you are connecting multiple com ports. Product details of USB To PS2 Converter - White Converts dual PS/2 devices (Keyboard & Mouse) to 1 USB port Supports computer USB interface to PS/2 port of.
I also found out that when you buy a keyboard and if it is for the long run like in a Personal Computer, then it is better to have a PS/2 connector bought. The only thing you need is just the USB socket and a PS/2 Jack (i got mine from an old mouse of mine).

The fact that they’re both called serial just means that one bit is transmitted at a time (as opposed to a parallel interface, where they might have 8 data wires plus clock (for example), sending a whole byte at a time. PS2 has a clock line and a data line (and I think it’s unidirectional) - RS232 has two lines (TX and RX), and instead of a clock line, it relies on both ends having accurate clocks to time bits with. There is no standard adapter that does that, nor any standard protocol for such an adapter to use - an adapter like that is called “A microcontroller with USB host capability programmed to do that” Will this work What do you call the adapter? With this adapter,I could easily parse the serial stream to get the joystick and button movements.
Allows a USB Keyboard and Mouse to operate on Systems with Legacy PS/2 Interfaces. keyboard with a USB connector to rs232 that I can connect to the serial port on my Arduino thereby eliminating the issue of trying desperately to make my joystick interface.
