Ipac2 and keyboard conflict

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Chiefcob:

Currently I have my arcade controls connected to an ipac2 encoder and this running to my pc via USB.I have my keyboard connected through a separate USB into my pc. When using my arcade controls it seems to cause a conflict with the keyboard controls and keyboard/control functions seem to go all pear shaped from there. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

USB to ps2 adapter for your keyboard?

Chiefcob:

Thanks for your reply but how will changing my keyboard usb connector to a ps2 connector solve this?
Excuse my ignorance.
Is this a common problem?

Drnick:

I will assume that the machine in question does not have a PS2 port. If it does then you could just use a ps2 keyboard.    The issue you are experiencing should not occur unless it thinks that there is a key like Ctrl, or Alt or something like that held down.  Can you be more descriptive of what is happening.  Have you opened up notepad and seen if anything is being entered in there when no buttons are being pressed.  What appears in notepad if you type "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

Alright just went out and bought a ps2 to USB adaptor hooked it up to the keyboard and PC and for some reason the ps2 port on the motherboard does not recognise that anything has been connected bugger!!

When I have my keyboard and arcade controls running through USB the keyboard seems to function fine in notepad all the keys perform their functions but as soon as I move the joystick or press an arcade button then a continuous flow of numbers 52525252525252.... numbers appear until  I press another button and it stops.But then the keyboard and mouse start to act up and the mouse buttons work in reverse and the keyboard controls cease to work or start performing weird fuctions?
Can anyone help me with this?
