How do you connect a keyboard to a computer?
First, get the keyboard and look at the wire. Then, connect the wire to the USB jack to your computer. If your keyboard is older, you are going to have to get an adapter for that or if your computer has the right jack then connect it to the other, older jack. Or if you have an older computer but newer keyboad then you will still have to get an adapter unless your computer has a USB then you wont have to get an adapter! Well, that how you connect a keyboard to your computer! Your Welcome!
