## Description

desertcart.com: StarTech.com Replacement PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter - F/M - Keyboard adapter - PS/2 (F) to USB (M) - GC46MFKEY, Purple : Electronics

Review: Great device, great price... - FYI - This device does not change an older PS/2 to USB because you want it to. It has to be made with this ability to do so. I bought this device for a totally different reason and it worked like a champ. We use KVM extenders to place a keyboard, mouse and monitor hundreds of feet away from the actually pc panel in which protects the pc from surge, heat and dirt. Newer pcs only come with usb and we needed to test out a newer pc setup on this one machine, but the KVM extender (over 300 bucks) was PS/2. The people are already using a wireless mouse and keyboard set, so I only needed to get the screen to come up. Unfortunately, the PS/2 connectors supply power to the transmitter. This device allowed the power from the usb to be input into the transmitter and get the vga on again. Worked like a charm, did exactly what I needed. Please do some research before reviewing a product saying that it doesn't work. Not everything does what you want it to because you think it should. Your ps/2 device would have to have been made with this in mind and not many except those made towards the end would have gone this way. USB devices to be ran from the ps/2 port, very common. A PS/2 device running off USB, not very common at all.
Review: Adapter != Converter - Got old keyboards hanging around that you want to use with your USB capable devices? Well, forget about that crazy idea, unless you want to throw down more money than a cheap USB keyboard costs. I appreciate your desire to maintain legacy technology for the sake of sharing your savvy, but this little gadget isn't going to make things work. It's just going to have windows tell you it sees some unrecognizable USB device that it doesn't know what to do with.... and unless you've got some serious motivation to make this work, it's probably not worth your time. Nothing against the people who make this mind you, but it's just not going to do what you might hope, given a naive understanding of serial communication. This is being said because i'm an idiot and found out firsthand after buying two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This is not the adapter you are looking for" ;)
*by W***R on November 22, 2011*

Unless you literally lost something that looks just like this item...then this is not the adapter you are looking for. It is and does exactly what it says it does, which is why I give it 5 stars. However, unless the cat kicked one of these into the heater vent, your kid threw one of these down the toilet, or you vacuumed one up then I can almost guarantee this is not what you really want. If you are an old skool keyboard junky that likes the clicky-clacky of the the old style keyboards, then you need to have something that actually translates the signals. This is just a wire pass through adapter. IT does its job well and the description says what it is "Replacement". If you never had one, then you aren't replacing anything now are you? Think of it this way, plugging a Stereo Audio RCA cable into the Composite Video RCA slot on the back of your TV doesn't magically give you the Music Videos now does it? What you probably really want, which also works perfectly is PS2 Keyboard To USB Adapter
