So Easy External Components

After spending a lot of money on "cheap" solutions (several types of adapters), this cable worked like a charm. No problem! I had an IOGear KVM so it may or may not work with other brands.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Will write later

Expensive but they get the job

For anyone stuck with PS/2 KVM switches and dealing with USB only servers, we've been using them for 2 years and they work great. Only thing is they are overpriced and KVM switches are cheap these days. For the price of 8 of these, you could probably buy a new USB KVM switch with cables. So if you need to replace all or almost all, I suggest just buying a new KVM switch.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • 0

They didn't work with my old KVM

They didn't work with my old IOGear KVM. I don't think miracles should be expected. I ended up buying a StarTech USB KVM with PS2 output for my rackmount monitor. Buyer Warning. YMMV.

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • Protection

PS2 to USB Conversion with KVM

Product works as advertised. There were no crashes, errors or problems. Solid performance from all angles. Would buy this item again to fix the problem.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

Not working / IOGear said only for YOUR KVM

KVM USB cable connected to PC and PS2 side with existing KVM and neither mouse nor keyboard worked. Rebooted computer and KVM. Help. When they called IOGear they said this cable would only work with IOGear KVM. I've never heard of it and it's not mentioned on Revain or the IOGear website. I will try to return to Revane.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Appearance
