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

I have an elderly brother-in-law with an older keyboard, but with a floor-standing computer that does not have the old PS2 keyboard jack. We used this cable cord adapter in order that the keyboard can use a USB port and it works like a charm! An excellent product.

The first one just did not work. It was quickly replaced and Ive been using it to connect my very old and well loved serial keyboard to my new USB only computer for about two years now.

Works as expected.

I had 2 computers at work that are on a KVM. One computer got replaced and the new one didnt have standard PS2 ports like the KVM requires. I tried this and it worked for the keyboard but not the mouse. Now, we have to have 2 mice at the workstation.

I have been using old PS/2 keyboards for years, since the ones I have are superior to the cheap things available now. I was using an Inland PS/2 USB connector (with a separate connector for a PS/2 mouse) which suddenly died on me. I have just installed the Peripro-401 on two keyboards, and both function fine. One is an old HP keyboard; the other, an IBM keyclick aristocrat which is so old it doesnt have the Microsoft keys next to the space bar.

Works exactly as expected, and my ancient Northgate keyboard, already adapted for a PS/2 connection, lives again, now thru USB. I’m a happy camper.

I am very pleased with my purchase, the product does exactly what it should! It allows me to use all of my older keyboards, that are far higher quality than most modern boards, for gaming, emailing and everything in between! The build quality is excellent also, the cords are thick and durable and the plugs them selves are sturdy. This product is also and active converter, which is exactly what anyone who wants to use old keyboards on modern PCs need. Finally this device does not require any software downloads, just plug it in and the on board converter does all of the work!

Worked great! Allowed my friend to continue using his old PS2 keyboard with a brand new computer

I bought the wrong item,

If you have an old keyboard or mouse, this should be perfect
