Is it possible to connect 2 keyboards?

[Kishan]

Well, I want to get a wireless keyboard to control my PC as a HTPC, and I have a Microsoft Internet Keyboard as the primary. The reason why I need to do this is because the Liteon Keyboard I saw doesn't have all 104 keys-its this oneliteon

Could i use a usb adapter or something?

Thanks,
Kishan

EDIT: If someone knows of a good keyboard that is wireless, please recommend. I just want to keep my mouse.

is your MS keyboard USB or PS2? You can only use a USB-PS2 adapter if the keyboard is designed to be used with an adapter. Meaning, not all keyboards will work on USB with an adapter. you should be able to use 2 keyboards if one is usb and the other is PS2. I know you can do that with mice..

It is PS2, so I guess I could use an adapter. Its that white MS keyboard that everyone has.

I have an MS natural that will work with either USB or PS2. My older one wouldn't do USB though.. If you can use the MS one on USB, then you "should" be ok to use the liteon on the PS2. You can experiment by grabbing aan old PS2 keyboard from goodwill or something to see if it will work before shelling out the bux for the liteon one.

You can use a PS2, USB, and a Bluetooth, mouse & keyboard all at the same time. I was borde one day and tried it. They all worked simultaneously.

It's funny to hook up a Bluetooth mouse up to a computer when the user doesn't know... You can move their mouse around from quite a distance! :laugh:
