Question:

help with computer keyboard?

i just bought a new keyboard today then when i turned around my CPU to plug it in, i realized that the cord for the keyboard is rectangular and the hole in the CPU is circular! is there anything i can buy to make this keyboard fit into the hole? how much would it cost?

Answer:

do as the others told you. they're correct. and also, i just wanted you to know that the computer as a whole is NOT a cpu. cpu is short for central processing unit. look up cpu on google. it really bothers me sometimes
it a usb port (can be in the back and front of cpu) just find an open one and plug it in. or you can buy a changer from keyboard to usb.
It sounds like the keyboard you bought is for a com port hook up. The round hole is called a PS-2 connection. Most all keyboards and mouse are PS-2 but the serial port will also work. Look for the connection on your computer that matches your cord
