    the keyboard i used before it was also a usb type, and i used it with this green adapter
    and it worked.
    when i bought this microsoft keyboard is not working, so i should buy the purple adapter to work maybe?
    thanks

    i have borrowed a universal adapter still green is the colour
    and the same thing happened it does not detect it
    is it because this keyboard works only through usb directly?

    no as you used a green adapter for a mouse when you need a purple adapter for keyboard.

    this adapter that i used the one who gave it to me said that is universal
    it plays both mouse and keyboard
    do you think that some modern keyboards now works only through usb directly?
    maybe this one is one of them
