Cant use PS/2

[Guest]

Im trying to use PS/2 on my keyboard so i can use full n key rollover but it  dosnt work, can it be so that Windows 10 dont support PS/2 anymore?

 

And yes, i tried google it but didnt find anything that worked

i tried using a converter in the past for my keyboard and it didnt work either, will be interesting to see if anyone knows

First off, make sure the PS/2 ports aren't disabled in the BIOS. On some motherboards they are considered as legacy and only work in the BIOS and are disabled anywhere else. Second is that those converters from USB to ps/2 more often than not don't work. These adapters only work on specific keyboards, manufacturers are likely to include these adapters with their keyboards if they can be converted. Third is that PS/2 needs to be connected from boot, you apparently can't connect them while a computer is running.

 

I got a PS/2 keyboard running on Windows 10, so it's still supported. Don't worry.

I don't think that keyboard can work over PS/2. Like I said, it's only very specific keyboards that those adapters can work with.

The manual says

Installation

To connect keyboard: Plug USB connector into a USB port or use the included PS/2 adapter to make the appropriate conncetion.

"Note: The PS/2 connection supports 104 simultaneous key presses while USB connection supports up to 6 simultaneous keys plus modifier. So for maximum simultaneous key press capability use the PS/2 adapter and connect it to a PS/2 port on your computer"

Okay, didn't know Steelseries supported PS/2, my bad. Can you get into the BIOS using the PS/2 connector?

I found this video that some people apparently had luck with (others not though):

 

A guy in the comments on that video talked about how the device showed up with an error on device manager (under hidden devices) and that he got it working after removing them (in the device manager) and rebooting.
