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

I have an absolutely ANCIENT KeyTronic Mainframe keyboard that still uses a DIN connector. I didnt want to solder up my own DIN-to-USB controller, so I went with adapter hell with a DIN-to-PS2 and this PS2-to-USB. Normally Im skeptical about this type of setup, but this controller works flawlessly with Mac, Windows, and most Linux distributions. Its literally plug-n-play, no fuss. The build quality is great and doesnt feel fragile at all. Definitely recommend if you need to use a PS/2 keyboard or mouse!

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!

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

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 Consider ordering two of these if you work with outdated equipment.

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.

Allows use of PS2 keyboard and mouse on newer computers that only have USB ports and no PS2 ports. Unfortunately you cannot use the keyboard to wake pc from sleep if you do not want the mouse to also wake pc from sleep. I have a Microsoft optical mouse and even though I configure the mouse not to wake the computer and the keyboard to wake the computer, the computer will not stay in sleep mode. If I configure both the keyboard and mouse not to wake the computer it will remain in sleep mode but I have to press the power button to wake the computer.

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 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?!

I am pretty satisfied with this adapter. I already have an adapter that sees regular use, but needed another one to increase my options. With this adapter, I can have two computers working at the same time. With this adapter, I can use my favorite old keyboard and/or mouse and swap them out on the go without restarting the computer. This adapter wont get everyday use, but is very handy when more options are needed to accomplish a goal. The price is reasonable and the adapter is rugged enough to last for years and years.

I am able to use my keyboard from my old decktop pc, which makes me very happy. I dont particularly like typing on a laptop, it feels awkward to me, when I am use to using my full keyboard. It was easy to plug in and off I go! Also it only cost a few $$
