ps\2 keyboard

Hello. I can not hook ps \ 2 keyboard to the virtual machine. Vmware supports only USB device? The keyboard itself works, but also in the host OS and virtual.

Then you'll have to use either a USB or Bluetooth Keyboard or PS/2 > USB dongle as VMware does not support directly connecting PS/2 devices to the VM.

Huh?

VMware passes your system's keyboard to the guest Virtual Machine just fine under most circumstances.  What are you trying to do that isn't working?
