I am considering buying a laptop but find it difficult typing on the flat keys of a laptop keyboard. Can you plug a regular desktop keyboard into most laptops to type on?
If your keyboard has a USB connection then yes it can, if your laptop has one of course. If your laptop doesnt have a USB, or your Keyboard doesnt have USB, then you may which to check to see if there is a PS/2 Port on the back or sides. If this matches the PS/2 on the keyboard then it should also work. If your Laptop has USB, but your keyboard doesnt, then you could buy a new keyboard, or you could buy an adapter from a local computers retailer. Your best bet is to search on google/yahoo/msnsearch for retailers in your area (different search engines giving different results). I hope this helps
Depends on the keyboard and laptop. There are 2 types of keyboard (main types): PS2 (round green plug) or USB (flat like any other USB). Some older laptops have a PS2 port, most new ones do not. A USB keyboard should work on most any laptop. A PS2 keyboard can be adapted by buying a PS2 to USB converter for ~$5. You may just want to upgrade to a newer keyboard.
Not a regular ps keyboard, but you can buy a USB keyboard and mouse from any electronic store.
Yes as long as the laptop has some sort of connector, either regular ports (the pin ones) or a USB port - which most have. Just make sure that the connectors are the same. I have a wireless mouse for mine since the touchpad is wonky sometimes.
yes although, it can be tricky look for a USB keyboard or full sized keyboard specifically made to be used for a laptop. as many laptops will not have the ps/2 port that a traditional/old keyboard utilizes. there are tiny gizmos that are convertors. ps/2 to USB that often come with keyboards. but make sure it does, if you're getting a keyboard of that type. as far as how it'd exactly work once connected to your laptop i'm sure it's a simple matter of going to control panel/keyboard and making sure the new keyboard is there and or switching to it. Or it may just naturally recognize itand you do nothing. would depend on the laptop.
