StarTech Replacement USB Keyboard to PS/2 Adapter (GC46FMKEY)

I have used this for almost a month now and it works as intended. It is being used on the back of a laboratory instrument where the keyboard gets moved around a lot. It doesn't come loose or indicate any sort of quality deficiency. The material on it is sturdy and durable, or else my laboratory technicians would have it destroyed by now. The previous adapter that we had was good too, just after 10 years of wear, our keyboard stopped typing. We tried different keyboards in case it was a faulty keyboard, but after replacing the adapter, it seems we found a good replacement to last us a long time! I would definitely buy this again if I needed another one.

A great value for your money I love how compatible it is with my workstation because I do have some PS2 connectors and I was using it for my keyboard but now that I got an editing keyboard I have to go directly into a USB port but I still use another one that's green for my mouse and it's great to connectivity and very easy to use and actually really good quality

I don't know why but this didn't work with two of my keyboards that were PS/2 compatible and a third USB keyboard that I wasn't sure about. I purchased this with a green adapter for my mouse to free up two usb ports and the mouse adapter worked fine. But this adapter just doesn't work. Not sure what to do next. So put the keyboard back into the usb port.

Great quality, but make sure your keyboard is compatible with the PS/2 port. USB and PS/2 signals are different. This converter only changes the physical shape between USB and PS/2 ports. If your keyboard has a USB port and its chip doesn't support PS/2 signals, and you still want to use it with a PS/2 port, you'll need an active converter. These are hard to find and can be expensive, but they include a built-in chip that converts USB signals to PS/2 signals. Here are two key points to check: Power Requirement: Your keyboard needs to require less than 275mA to operate, as that is the maximum current a PS/2 port can supply. Signal Compatibility: Your keyboard chip must be designed to support PS/2 signals. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to check this—consult the manual, or if you have an older keyboard, it’s more likely to work with PS/2.

I needed a ps2 keyboard because usb support for my bios got disabled by a bad prankster. This adapter didn't work. But after I used a real ps2 keyboard and fixed my bios this adapter worked fine to attach a usb keyboard. It basically turns the ps2 port into a usb so that's why the bios didn't recognize it as ps2.

The item description online does clearly state it might not work on every keyboard so I took a chance. Sadly, I have 3 or 4 USB keyboards and it failed to work on all of them. So I'm not going to blast it as being a bad product but gave it 3 stars on the chance that it might work beautifully with the "right" USB keyboard... just not any I have. Not returning it, my bad, it was only a few dollars and maybe sometime I will come across a keyboard it will worth with.

Works great

Good quality, great product. The adaptor worked very well.

Worked on an old computer

Didn't work. ordered 2 and neither worked for my keyboard or mouse.....:(

Possibly a dumb connector. It does not work with a keyboard. I tried two PCs (one Linux and one Windows XP) and three keyboards, an old Compaq, later Microsoft and recent Perixx. The PS/2 mini DIN ports work with any PS/2 cabled keyboard. The USB keyboards work on anything that has USB and supports a keyboard (DOS, Windows 98, XP Win 10, Linux & Android)

エレコムのキーボードECTK-G01UKBKをPS/2化しようと思い買ってみましたが、認識しませんでした。 まぁ別にいいか、と諦めてUSBで繋いでます。 当キーボード、独自のゲーミングモードなる機能を備えているので、独自の通信方式を使っているのかもしれません。 かなり丈夫で、サイズ感が良く、おそらく他のコードやアダプターと干渉することはないと思います。 特殊なキーボードをPS/2化したいと考えている方はちょっと注意が必要かもしれません。
