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

Makes my ps/2 keyboard work. A simple pin adapter was not working. This is what you need to make sure that the old keyboards work on usb port

Heard Leo Laport talk about old keyboards and how they are better for various reasons. Bought this adapter to see, my old Hewlett Packard keyboard would work with my MacBook Pro. This adapter worked wonderfully with my computer and keyboard. I am happy that I can put something old back to work. :)

Really wanted this to work but it seems to cause my keyboard to double press numbers and letters.

Adapts newer computers to using ps2 key boards and mice. The 2 connectors allow you to use keybnoard and mouse at same time. Seems well made.

Plugged the adapter into the keyboard and computer and it worked as would be expected. I have been using this computer for several weeks with no issue.

I bought this to go with my DELL AT101W mechanical keyboard (ALPS switch). I game with the keyboard, so I need/want keys to stay pressed anytime I hold down the keys. My previous motherboard had a PS/2 port on-board, which worked perfectly fine. This USB adapter works ok, as in the keyboard is detected and I can type away normally. However, in games for some reason, the keys (usually the WASD keys) stop responding if I hold them down for too long (when running/walking/driving for example). This is quite annoying to me personally, as I am not used to having to re-press movement keys in certain games. It isnt an issue in all games though, as some games you move around enough that you dont hold down the keys long enough for them to stop responding. I personally dont recommend this adapter, unless you only plan to use the keyboard for typing, as you will notice issues when playing games, and most likely get frustrated in wondering why the keys are not responding.

I give this 5 stars because it works great. At first my computer wasnt taking it, wasnt finding a driver for it. Then it said to put it into another USB port that I have and it downloaded the driver needed and SO FAR!!! its working great. I have 2 perfectly new keyboards that are PS/2 and I had to buy a USB one and I didnt like that one at all and I wanted my good ole keyboard back. So I searched on here until I found the right one. You have to have the KVM in the middle of both ends. Not just the little small adapter they have. This one works for keyboards and mouse both. But you need the KVM part with this. And it says that in the description so I knew I was getting the right one. A must have for someone that wants to use their old PS/2 keyboards/mice on a USB computer. Glad I got it and hope it continues to do the job. So far so good.!!!! :-)

My wife loves her old keyboard. Half the letters have been warn off the keys its so old. It came with a Dell PC, 2 or 3 computers ago. Finally they stopped putting in PS2 ports. I get her a couple of new usb keyboards, but she hated them all. So I thought Id try this gizmo to bring the sexy back, or at least her old keyboard. I was concerned when looking because some units lacked the built in controller thing and reviews stated they would sometimes and then not work other times. Unacceptable for a non-techy wife to troubleshoot. So I took a chance on this item and its work great for several months now. And not one complaint from the wife - priceless! Seriously tho shes happy and the keyboard is working great with the new PC that has only usb ports.

Compatible with the following keyboards: Unicomp Model M (2004) and Maxi Switch Model M13 Part Number 13H6705 (1996). All keys are detected with this PERIPRO-401 B PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse to USB Converter Adapter.

This dongle allows me to use my vintage IBM mechanical keyboard with my new PC, it works perfectly and even works for playing games, I tested it with Crysis, Bloodstained, and RDR2- it worked like a perfectly on all of them!
