Perixx PERIPRO-401 PS2 to USB Adapter for Keyboard and Mouse - Built-in USB Controller - Black

I have an OLD keyboard, which I love, and this connects the ps2 to usb. It works. That’s 90%. No negative surprises. And it looks like it will last. What more could I want?!

Works great!

Mom finally decided she was willing to try the awesome and spend split hand ergonomic keyboard I gave her for Christmas more than a few years ago. (I live mine!) Since then, computers have advanced to the era of the USB -- but the brand new keyboard sports a PS/2 connection. Argh! After calling all of the local stores, I finally ordered this gem of an adapter. It works perfectly and that brand new keyboard was up and running in seconds. Quality USB to PS/2 adapters arent that easy to find. Consider ordering two of these if you work with outdated equipment.

If a passive adaptor did not work for you, this active converter should. I have a HP15 notebook (laptop bought in 2016) & wanted to connect an external keyboard that was over 10 years old. I understand some newer keyboards/computers may work with the passive adaptor, but the active converter has a chip in it.

The sales agent at Best Buy said I could not use my high-quality keyboard and mouse with my new computer due to old connectors on them. I love my ancient keyboard and mouse. The keyboard has keys, not flat buttons-- finding this adapter and hat it really works has saved me from anxious hours of adjusting to the new, cheap, horrible keyboards. Perfect and recommended!

I use a Compaq keyboard so you know it is old. Needed adaptor to use it with a modern Dell computer and it works great.

Tried other devices that failed. This conversion device functions as stated.

The Perixx PERIPRO-401 PS2 to USB Adapter for Keyboard and Mouse with built-in USB Controller saved my older but favorite keyboard. I had upgraded my PC mother board and newer MBs dont use the old PS2 style plug. This adapter was a perfect solution. Very satisfied with this product.

Just upgraded to a new Dell desktop with Windows 10. No PS2 ports anymore. Loved my old Microsoft Natural ergonomic keyboard. Already had an adapter (wired thru) that I got with one other new keyboard, but is was one designed for dual interface. This Perixx PS2 adapter converts the serial PS2 to USB. I plugged in the old keyboard to the Perixx and into a USB port and it works. Did not even see a notice of new device found. I am not a speed typist, and have not noticed any errors yet (other then my fat fingers). I did try a few multi key commands (alt, control, delete and alt, tab) and those commands were recognized.

Worked fine for an old IBM model M keyboard to a modern USB only mini PC.
