What customers say
This adapter receives mixed reviews, primarily centered on its reliability for basic conversion versus complex setups. Users successfully reviving classic PS/2 keyboards on modern USB systems praise it as a simple, cost-effective solution that works reliably without drivers. However, significant frustration arises from compatibility issues. Many report failures when attempting to use both mouse and keyboard ports simultaneously. Furthermore, performance often degrades when integrated with KVM switches, leading to recognition problems. The core takeaway is that this device excels at straightforward, single device conversion but struggles with dual connections or advanced system configurations.
