Hi! Does anyone know how to connect such dance mat to a laptop. The Mat uses 2 connectors, i.e. PS/2 F and PS/2 M. In order to be able to use it in my laptop, i use 2 connectors, i.e. PS/2 F to USB A M and PS/2 M to USB A F (and accordingly connect the end point of USB A F to another USB A M), and connected the 2 cables to my laptop, but the latter failed to recognize the devices. Any suggestion? Thanks
The problem is 2 foldfirst it is setup to be connected through the ps/2 connection not usb, so if you only have a usb connection then you'll need the specific convertor and drivers for the dance mat as it is typically setup as a replacement for the keyboard, or at least thats the connector it uses on a pc.your laptop has the keyboard embedded into it so you'll need to setup the laptop to use the external keyboard which is in reality the dancepad.the connectors are not really the issue but if you want simplicity, just go with the specific convertor for it, if the connectors you have seem to work but the laptop isn't recognizing it then you'll have to play with the settings and also check for the latest drivers.
