As.you.can.see,my.spacebar.is.broken.but.i.broke.i t.so.it.is.not.the.question.
the.problem.is.that.i.plugged.in.2.different.ps/2.keyboards.and.my.computer.didn't.even.recognize. anything.being.plugged.in.
i.did.turn.computer.off.each.time.i.plugged/unplugged.something.from.the.ps/2.port.so.i.didn't.short.something....
i.am.baffled!

Go spend about $10 and get a USB keyboard.

I am not a Windows person. But is your broken keyboard a USB keyboard? Perhaps there is some extra step needed for your computer to recognize the existence of a ps/2 keyboard.

By the way, you can copy and paste a "space" from this post to use in your next post!

[Husky_mom]

perhaps you need some software....

and about your space bar ... can´t you tap it towards the end so you kinda push the "button".. haha... meant key.. lol

i.have.a.fancy.multimedia.ps/2.keyboard.that.i.love.
is.it.possible.to.get.an.adapter.to.plug.it.into.a .usb.port??

[Lady's Human]

Yes, it is, the adapters will run you almost the same price as the kbd, though.

Just for an example:

Cheaper than i remember them being, but then again I work with government pricing.....LOL
