I would say dont bother with the usb one, just get a new one. I dunno, if you can -but couldnt you just redirect the buttons? (Er, didnt know how to word that...)

You could get a USB to PS/2 connector, like this:

But PS/2 is now considered deprecated and USB has superceded it in many computers.

Why did you need to hit F2 at boot time anyway?

Yup, it sure is.
