PS2 Keyboards

[Rushy]

I'm after a decent keyboard for FFXI which I have just ordered. Most keyboards aren't cheap and the datel one has a very short lead.

The logitech one looks good but I can't find it cheaper than ?27.

Can you just use any USB keyboard with the PS2?

Or does anyone know a decent one for ?20 or less?

I`ve got a cheapo market job for ?5 no problems so far

Apparantly any USB one will do, I'm sure ebuyer.co.uk sell 'em for a couple of quid.

Does anyone know if those USB->Ps2 (not the console) adapters allow reguar keyboards to work on the PS2?

Found a handy list of what keyboards FFXI officially supports:

Logitech Elite? Keyboard 967234-0403
Internet Navigator? Keyboard 967233-0403
Logitech? Access? Keyboard 967228-0403
Logitech? Cordless Access? Keyboard 967225-0403
NetPlay Controller 963268-0403

Microsoft Microsoft? Internet Keyboard C19-00330

Rushy,

Have you got a US PS2? I've got a chipped UK PS2 with a JPN BB adaptor and I want to have this game.

Yes, I recently purchased a US PS2 with BB adaptor. I'm unsure about the situation with playing FFXI on a chipped UK PS2.

...the situation will most likely be bad. Anybody who chooses to pay ?100+ for the HDD to use on a UK PS2 should be aware they are guinea pigs!

It may not recognise the drive, and it probably won't pass the DNAS check.

That's downright unfair, Square don't seem bothered about PC users in Europe playing FFXI and as they have no plans on releasing it over here, why feck us this way?

Bollocks - I was really looking forward to this game.
