This article was previously published under Q183862 SYMPTOMS
When you connect one of the Microsoft Keyboards that is listed in the "Applies To" section to the PS/2 port on an IBM ThinkPad laptop computer, the keyboard may not be detected.
CAUSE
This issue occurs because the PS/2 port on the IBM ThinkPad does
not detect any PS/2 keyboard without the correct adapter cable or docking
station.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, connect the Natural Keyboard Elite to an
IBM Docking Station or an IBM Y-cord adapter. You can purchase either of
these products from an authorized IBM reseller.MORE INFORMATIONThe third-party products that are discussed in this article are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding the performance or reliability of these products.
