Hrm, strange that a nice keyboard like that comes as USB only. My Adesso  
comes natively as PS/2 but has a PS/2 to USB converter that works  
flawlessly. The idea is that PS/2 is better for keyboards because it  
allows you to simultaneously press more keys at once than USB can handle.  
Anyway, I've had really bad luck with off the shelf adapters. You are  
probably OK with just running it as USB.
