That does not work. on cables and connections

Must have been defective. That does not work. I use it as a joystick. We ended up buying a new one from a different brand after hours of thinking it was a joystick. By the time we realized it was him, it was too late to go back. At least we didn't only have $6.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Compatibility list required

This does not work with the Logitech Deluxe 104 keyboard. The build quality is good and the price <5$ is good. I bought an old PS2 keyboard for troubleshooting. Some keyboards can communicate via USB and PS2. This type works with this adapter. Unfortunately Deluxe 104 SK-720, M/N: Y-SA2 does not work via USB.

Pros
  • GOLS certification
Cons
  • Some difficulties

It's my own fault for not reading it carefully before ordering

I really didn't need this item because I didn't read the description carefully before ordering (only works with Logitech brand devices). Then I bought the following inexpensive 2-packs (which were very easy to use plug and play adapters): USB to PS/2 Converter, LEIHONG PS2 Adapter, USB Dual PS/2 PS2 Adapter , Keyboards and Mice, Cable Adapters, 2-pack https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B088GT96GK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can't fault the product or the seller so 5…

Pros
  • I'm waiting for
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Warning, does not work with all Logitech keyboards.

Doesn't work with all Logitech keyboards, just some. And I can't find a list of what works and what doesn't. No support from Logitech website. I have a Logitech Ps/2 multimedia keyboard from Windows 7 days. I've enabled the latest Logitech drivers for Windows 10 and PS/2 support and they don't recognize this keyboard when plugged in.

Pros
  • Something above
Cons
  • Not sure

Do not buy this scam!

What a piece @#$% I'm buying this adapter to keep using my old keyboard, when I plug in the adapter my keyboard lights up but the keys don't work at all. Someone might say the keyboard is old and not working, WRONG! On another PC connected to PS2 it works fine. The one I buy is just @#$$%^&*.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Minor issues

this does not work on computers and accessories

Tried on 5 different keyboards. It looks like a PS2 to USB adapter but doesn't work like a PS2 to USB adapter. I've had many of these in the past and NEVER had one that didn't work. .

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Requires socket

Broke on first use

I bought this to connect my keyboard to my desktop. Plugged in, the keyboard doesn't work. When I took the converter out of the computer, it fell apart. On the plus side, I got my money back and didn't have to deal with the return postage.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Only available in black

Sad face. But on USB cable

My son finished school at home and took my trackball with him. Sad face. But I remembered I still had my OLD trackball BUT I needed a gender manipulator for it. There it happens. Fast shipping, looks great, easy to install! Too bad the trackball is so old they don't make drivers for it anymore and although my laptop recognized that I had something plugged into the USB port it had no idea what it was and refused to work. Spring.

Pros
  • Cables and accessories
Cons
  • Long delivery time

More detailed description needed

As other reviews have mentioned, this is a passive converter, not an active one. Therefore, some keyboards will not work with this converter. In particular, my 1984 IBM Model M keyboard isn't working and after a little research I found that it requires an active converter. Luckily I got my money back through Revain so I didn't fully use my $5 but it's still an inconvenience. Also, the product arrived bent when opened. The plastic side of the USB has been badly deformed, possibly from shipping…

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • No power

Worked for my application.

It's important for people to understand that this is a passive converter. The USB ports have 2 data pins (D+ and D-), a Vcc pin and a GND pin. The PS/2 also has two data pins (DATA and CLK), a Vcc pin and a GND pin. This passive converter just routes the two data pins of the PS/2 port to the two data pins of the USB port and Vcc to Vcc and GND to GND. It is not actively converted between protocols. You can't just use this adapter to get a PS/2 keyboard working through a USB port as the CPU…

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Very expensive
