Hi, I'm sorry if this is the wrong group but hoping someone can help. I
ordered a desktop computer with Win10 that came with mouse and keyboard.
The
computer plug ins on the back of computer for these are round pin type,
but
the mouse and keyboard that came with it have the slotted flat plug ends.
I
have a man coming from Best Buy on Tuesday and wonder what type if any
adapters there are for this. Thanks to anyone who can help, I am not
computer savvy at all.

Does the computer have any of the flat slots on the back ? Those are
called USB ports and if there are any , you can plug the keyboard and
mouse into any of them and Win10 will find them.


They do make the adapters for this, but most computers have not used the
round plugs in years.


Thank you so much for that answer! I can now see what you mean. You have
been most helpful.

The round type are called DIN connectors. The flat type are called USB
connectors. USB is most common these days. They sent the wrong k/b and
mouse. Are there adapters in the box?

When's the last time you saw a new PC that uses a PS2 connector for the
keyboard? Fifteen, twenty years? They didn't send anything wrong,
she's just confused or trolling.

Maybe 8-10 years. As I said my dual core Intel board has PS/2
connectors and it shipped with Windoze 7.
Just installed a new Acer Veriton - still supports PS2 Kbd and mouse
- but comes with USB
