Can you replace a Dell keyboard with any other keyboard?

Question

The keyboard on my home computer has stopped working and im not sure what to replace it with. Any tips?

Answer 1

A desktop computer will take any keyboard. I recommend that you unplug your existing keyboard and look at the plug. I could be a rectangular USB plug or small Round PS2 plug. It is best to get a keyboard with that same kind.

Here are some awesome deals: http://www.newegg.com You see, you do not have to buy a keyboard for more than $20. In fact, MUCH LESS will do just fine

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Answer 2

Most modern keyboards will plug in just fine. Get another keyboard with the same connector - ie ps2 or USB - rarely the computer might not like changing from ps2 to USB or USB to ps2.

You can almost certainly get another genuine Dell keyboard off eBay - there are usually hundreds on there, both new and used. Make sure you don't accidentally buy a "cut-down" Dell keyboard if you want a full size one... the skinny Dell keyboards don't support your hand so well when typing, but some people like them.

Answer 3

Any keyboard you can buy (or have bought in the last 5+ years) will work in your Dell computer.

Answer 4

Yes, you can replace it with any USB keyboard. Check bestbuy or a similar store, they have tons of options- wired, wireless, bluetooth, etc. Cheap ones can be bought for around 15-20 bucks.
