Hello, I have an old HCL Beanstalk Slim PC and am using the keyboard that came with it. It has an old purple PS2 port. However, my CPU's port failed and I was forced to use a USB to PS2 connector, but that does not allow multi-key press while gaming. Any solution? It's very irritating and I can't play games.

PS/2-to-USB adapters, whilst they work okay when used with a mouse, will usually only allow the basic functions to work when used with a keyboard, and some keyboards won't work at all when connected via an adapter. You will have to get the PS/2 port fixed on your computer so you can use your PS/2 keyboard again

An alternative is to first try a "native" USB keyboard in a USB port so that you don't have need to use an adapter.
