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

I had purchased this adapter in hopes of being able to use my foot pedal for my transcription work but no uch luck. They were affordable and prongs did match general description. And at $7.55 I couldnt pass up the potential to be able to increase my work speed and accuracy increase exponentially. Which would also be extremely beneficial in regards to my income bracket.

I had an old/new keyboard that had a much better feel and response than my wifes and she wanted it but it had a PS/2 connection and her new computer, of course, is all USB. This item was shipped promptly and I connected it and shes a happy girl!

Since my new computer only takes USB hookups and my new keyboard is much narrower/smaller keys, I started looking for a PS2 to USB adapter so that I could still use my old keyboard -- which has an old PS2 socket. Looked around the internet and found only imposters. This one actually works! No software needed. After booting up the computer, I unhooked the USB for the new keyboard -- then plugged in the PeriPro adapter to let the computer recognize it (Windows 10). After the adapter was recognized, I then plugged in my old PS2 keyboard to the PeriPro adapter and voilà. It works great!

Needed this converter from PS2 to USB in order for my wifes keyboard to work. It now works fine. Did not need the mouse adapter.

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.

Works great. I use it only for my old PS/2 keyboard outlet. I guess should work good with the old ball mouse.

Works great for what I want and it wont be unplugged and plugged again and again, however, the plastic of the ps2 plugs is already looking roughed up after about eight or ten cycles of being moved. As I said, in a mostly stationary application no prob (esp for the price) however if you plan of moving it a lot maybe not so tough...

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.

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.

Plug in a PS/2 keyboard and it works. The main issue I have with this keyboard is when I play video games. I am by means no professional gamer that needs anti ghosting (or whatever those top-tier keyboards provide) and I have never noticed any issue with this keyboard gameplay-wise, except when it comes to holding down keys. It seems that when I am playing a game where I need to press a button for a long time (like a racing game where you are accelerating straight, or an FPS when you are running straight) the keyboard forgets that the button is pressed and stops sending the signal. This doesnt happen when you are using the keyboard for other things, so maybe holding W to go straight but then pressing Shift or Ctrl at different times. This only occurs when W is the only button pressed. I can work around this knowing the issue (strafing or pressing unassigned buttons when i am doing straight sections) but I would rather not.
