Inspiron 3542 and PS2 keyboard
My desktop 'died' and now I have to use this laptop. The desktop had a nice keyboard and I would prefer to use that keyboard on the laptop. Here are the keyboard details:
Logitech - Internet Pro keyboard
Model Name: Y-SZ49
P/N: 867449-0403
It is PS/2 . Can I simply add a PS/2 to USB adaptor and use it ? How is the Inspiron 3542 configured to cater for a larger keyboard ?

It should work with a keyboard to USB adapter -- but note that these are different from mouse to USB adapters, so make sure you purchase the the correct adapter.

Thanks. That one is PS/2 to female USB, so I would need a male/male usb cable to make it work. It may do though, thanks. :)
