Has anyone bought the Datel USB keyboard for their PS2? If so, are you having any problems with it?
I got one yesterday for use with YABASIC and the keys seem hyper-sensitive, doubling up on practically every character I type. This obviously makes it impossible to program with!
I doubt very much that it's a YABASIC problem, so I've probably got a duff keyboard; before I take it back, though, I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem.
Anyone else got another make of keyboard that works okay?

Okay... I e-mailed Datel about this key repetition problem, and had a reply from them today.
Anyone considering buying a Datel keyboard for use with PS2 YABASIC should be aware of this, and Special Reserve *may* wish to make their customers aware of it in the product description...

Dear Adam,
Further to your below email.
Yes you're right. Our PS2 keyboard does not work correctly
with the program YaBasic.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.
Kind regards

Well, I got a replacement keyboard from Game in town today, and it does exactly the same thing.
I suppose there *could* be a problem with my PS2's USB ports, but I have no other way of testing it, other than YABASIC.
For now, my advice would be to steer clear of the Datel USB keyboard, just in case.

I reckon that's def. a duff keyboard. My keyboard for PC started doing it too a couple of months ago.
Replacement fixed it.
