iPac2 - how does the USB work?
(1/4) > >>
benarcade:
I want to build a controller, and it looks like the iPac2 is the way to go.  I'm wondering though - how does it plug into the USB port? I see ps/2 outputs only. And is it like the x-Arcade, where it's REQUIRED that I plug in a keyboard - or can I get a standard ps/2 to USB converter and plug it straight in?

patrickl:
When you order it make sure to chooose the USB cable. This cable has a PS/2 plug on one end and a USB on the other.
Flip_Willie:
Ditto on what Patrickl said.  Also, You don't need to have a keyboard pluged in because the computer recognizes the Ipac 2 as a keyboard type device.  Here is picture if you are still unclear.

Just as it is,

Why would anyone get it without the USB?

I'm not sure that the cable is anything different from a standard USB to PS2 converter is it? If thats the case then lots of people have boxfulls of cables and converters lying around and may not want another.
