There's something on the screen that looks like it's In the times when I bought one, people complained about adapters that cost less that did not work and were advised to spend a few bucks more (literally) on a USB-adapter The PS2 converter converts from PS2 to PS3.
These will work fine. This unit fails when you are holding a key to repeat, like in a PC game. If you press a second key, the repeat feature of the first key will be disabled, so you must release the first key and press it again to achieve a repeat. In my review, I stated that this was an unacceptable flaw for gaming and notified the company about it.
As a result, I've already used it in one. There are two parts to this. I tested it on both 0 and 1 ports, and it worked fine. The laptop I tried it on only has 3 gigabytes, so I don't remember if I tried it on that. The port count is zero. I have a hard time believing that they would build this thing with the superior speed of 2. There's no way you can transfer data through a keyboard or a mouse. If either number is 0 or 3, then the answer is My last reply was totally unhelpful once I saw your latest comment.
You will be able to use your keyboard if the driver and keyboard use the standard Microsoft code.

I was satisfied with the keyboard except for the following Holding down Ctrl + Tab while cycling through windows of an application allowed the highlighted window to be selected automatically if I stopped cycling while still holding down those keys. There was no difference between various keyboards that I tried, so I cannot find a cause. In all other respects, the Perixx is a suitable keyboard for legacy systems.
There is a mention of this one being compatible with KVM switches. The PS/2 port of the KVM switch is supported The USB controller has been built into the board". There is not a universal listing of compatibility for all of these adapters. I have had a nightmare of a time, dealing with a 4 port PS/2 KVM switch that was not compatible with my PC & It was not able to load a Generic Driver in Windows 10 Pro It was impossible for me to operate a keyboard or mouse. If you are using a KVM switch, give this one a try. The moment I used this one, the problem was solved, and I felt much less stressed out It was noted by another reviewer that you should plug this adapter in first, then connect your computer Let's start by installing the Generic Driver, then leboard and anything else you want to use Apparently a mouse.
Rather, it is used for basic office work. My mom (88 years old) needed a new PC because of her age. It is still pretty easy to use a keyboard for her. However, she has trouble using newer keyboards (laptop and USB), and she wanted her old mechanical device back. There was a keyboard that was PS/2 compatible. A couple of years ago she updated her old computer to Windows 10 while her new computer also has Windows 10. The tech guy in me is totally incompetent! In my opinion, this is a good one since it is a "active" sensor, and you can buy passive ones for much cheaper but they do frequently fail. After plugging in the adapter to the computer, the computer recognized the keyboard, after which the adapter was plugged into the keyboard, all went smoothly without any complaints.
It is a great adapter for connecting a PS2 keyboard to a USB port. I initially had trouble working with the adapter and energized the keyboard, but I was able to make it work using a suggestion from Amazon revieweder Clearline (March 2014). To do that, you just hook up the adapter alone to your USB port, let the PC recognize it, then plug in your PS2 keyboard. Simple as that! I also had trouble getting the adapter to work with both unpowered and powered USB extension cables. For that reason, instead of using a USB extension cable, I ended up using a 25' PS2 extension.
Whether you like The item took only 24 hours to arrive, was reasonably priced, and worked *Do not like During the first few hours of the phone's use, it sometimes behaved as if there was a stuck key, such as thisthisthisthisthisthis thisthis. It was necessary to have the backspace key at hand. Seems to be having a difficult time generating a wake event for the laptop, too. In the past, I have accessed the login screen by pressing the enter key, but I am not able to do so with the keyboard on this device. This is also the case with the wireless mouse I'm also using. My overall feeling is that I am pleased with being able to use my Model M keyboard with this laptop, so I am happy with the purchase.
A PS/2 mouse and keyboard worked fine when connected directly to a computer's USB port via the cable, but when I used it to connect 2 computers via a KVM switch, I experienced glitches. A PC was connected via a different PS/2 cable made by another manufacturer. This cable enables me to hook up an additional computer to my switch via a USB converter. We are not sure if it was this cable that was incompatible with the other cable or if it was the cable connected to the KVM switch that was the problem. Although I bought it based on its claim that it would work with KVM switches, the cable itself proved to work just fine, so I gave it three stars.
The mail man really made my day when I opened this little package. The keyboard from my old desktop is now connected to my new one! Currently I have an economic style keyboard, which, because of its small size and offset keys, drives me nuts. When I got that old keyboard set up and on it, I was HOME. I was able to resurrect my old keyboard with this inexpensive adapter. The worn keys of the keyboard didn't matter, once I got it set up and on it, I was at peace. I'm feeling a desire to bring back the tactile notion it really The speed with which I type, pound it, and must as I am writing for a publication in my official capacity for I am going to throw that old keyboard as far as I can It would be wise to stick to the tool and dye keyboards you have or whatever crafts product you use.
My IBM model M keyboards (rubber dome 07H0665, buckling spring 42H1292) have been compatible with this converter without a hitch. As a matter of interest My vintage IBM mouse (P/N 28L1864) also works with it. The program has also worked with two Dell QuietKey keyboards successfully. Since I am not particularly familiar with this stuff, I would say that if your model M is an embedded USB terminal board, it probably won't work (mine didn't work after previously being modded for The converter in the Soarer is meant for this purpose.
