Using a PS2 keyboard
The BlackBox Recorder can accept a standard 102 key PS2 style keyboard. Most mini
keyboards are not currently supported, especially those that require some setup
drivers to be installed on the PC. The most consistently reliable keyboards we have
found are the Microsoft 500 style PS2 keyboards which can be obtained in most
countries for around US$10 (£6). Some USB keyboards will work with USB to PS2
converters but not all.
