Keep your keyboard and convert the connector to meet your needs with this keyboard adapter. Review: Works as intended - 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. Review: Works! - Works great ## Features - - Connect a PS/2 compatible USB Keyboard to a computer through a PS/2 port - USB Keyboard to PS/2 Adapter/USB to PS/2 Adapter - Note: This is a replacement adapter that can only be used with USB keyboards that are both USB and PS/2 compliant. If you keyboard shipped with a similar adapter than this adapter will work with your keyboard. If your keyboard did not ship with a similar adapter than this adapter will not work with your USB keyboard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000A0K2JO | | Additional Features | Ergonomic, Rechargeable | | Antenna Location | Indoor/Outdoor | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,718 in Computer Cable Adapters #4,816 in Audio & Video Connectors & Adapters | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | StarTech | | Button Quantity | 6 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Keyboards with USB and PS/2 compatibility | | Compatible Tablet Computer Models | AAUB P30 | | Connectivity Technology | Ps | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 2,405 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030812696 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.9"L x 4.9"W x 0.3"H | | Item Type Name | Data Transfer Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Keyboard Description | Connect a PS/2 compatible USB Keyboard to a computer through a PS/2 port | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Mfr Part Number | GC46FMKEY | | Model Name | Replacement Keyboard Adapter | | Model Number | GC46FMKEY | | Number of Keys | 46 | | Power Source | USB power (powered through a USB cable connected to a host device) | | Processor Count | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Indoor/Outdoor | | Special Feature | Ergonomic, Rechargeable | | Style Name | Keyboard | | Switch Type | Mechanical | | Theme | Technology | | UPC | 065030812696 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Keyboards with USB and PS/2 compatibility - **Connectivity Technology:** Ps - **Keyboard Description:** Connect a PS/2 compatible USB Keyboard to a computer through a PS/2 port - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 4.9"L x 4.9"W x 0.3"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Indoor/Outdoor - **Special Feature:** Ergonomic, Rechargeable - **Style:** Keyboard ## Images ![4 pin USB Type A Female Keyboard Adaptor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lq58tm6JL.jpg) ![4 pin USB Type A Female Keyboard Adaptor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Z8QOqPFyL.jpg) ![4 pin USB Type A Female Keyboard Adaptor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nVfokttZL.jpg) ![4 pin USB Type A Female Keyboard Adaptor - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PtLatqyKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with a wireless usb mouse** A: NO. IT IS A ADAPTOR FOR A USB CABLE. **Q: new usb ms keyboard, old dell computer. green and black converters dont work. nothing does. wasting money on these. does color mean something?** A: i solved this problem once by updating the PS2 drivers on an old NT machine but it was not a trivial task. i suspect that it would be far simpler for you to just get a new PS2 keyboard. as you probably already know, this problem is just the tip of the iceberg for an old computer with no USB ports. time to find $400 for a modern machine. **Q: Not really tech savvy, but does this work on the green and purple slot? Like, could I get to of these and use it for my mouse and keyboard spot?** A: Purple is for keyboards only........ And you'll have to be lucky. Over half the ones I tried did not work with this adapter at all. Funny thing is most of the different mice I had on hand worked fine with the green adapter... Again purple is only for keyboards **Q: Will it work backwards? I have PS/2 keyboards and I need usb PLUG FOR MY COMPUTERS?** A: You mean you need to plug the keyboards into the USB port? Check out this and similar ones, this one? You plug the keyboard into the end of it then plug the USB plug into a USB port on your computer ;))http://www.amazon.com/Adesso-Adapter-connects-connectors-ADP-PU21/dp/B00008ZPED/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1420753820&sr=8-14&keywords=Keyboard%2Fmouse+plugs+for+USBAlternatively, you can buy "just the actual plug in both purple and green":http://www.amazon.com/BisLinks%C2%AE-Keyboard-Quality-Converter-Adapter/dp/B00JFT94M2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1420754016&sr=8-4&keywords=Keyboard+mouse+plugI'm sure either of those are what you're looking for to connect with to your computers from your PS/2. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as intended *by D***Y on July 12, 2023* I have used this for almost a month now and it works as intended.
