Setup

  1. Connect the Keyboard: Plug the USB connector of the keyboard into an available USB 2.0 port on your computer.
  2. PS/2 Connection (Optional): If your computer supports PS/2 and you prefer this connection type, use the included PS/2 adapter. Connect the USB end of the keyboard to the adapter, then plug the adapter into the PS/2 keyboard port on your computer.
  3. Driver Installation: The keyboard is plug-and-play and typically does not require specific drivers for basic functionality. Your operating system will automatically detect and install the necessary generic drivers.
  4. Verify Connection: Once connected, the keyboard should be immediately functional. Test by typing in a text editor. The Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock indicator lights (located above the numeric keypad) should illuminate when activated.

Operating Instructions

Standard Typing
