Does *not* work with Dell Vostro or a KVM switch [Posted on 2008-03-16]
I've tested the TU-PS2 with a Dell Vostro 200 and can confirm that it *doesn't* work, despite of what a previous reviewer found. If you plug the TU-PS2 into a Dell Vostro 200 and connect a PS2 keyboard, every keystroke gets multiplied 5 times, there's clearly something wrong with this converter.
I've also tested the TU-PS2 (independently of the test above) with a KVM switch, an IOGEAR KVM2Kit, in which case it doesn't even work with a plain vanilla HP laptop with Windows XP installed.
Conclusion: The TRENDnet TU-PS2 works with less hardware than a cheap noname $5 USB/PS2 converter you can order from various places. Definitely not worth to pay $15.
Does not work with Dell [Posted on 2008-03-18]
I tried this on both a Dell Inspiron notebook as well as a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. On both computers the mouse would work but the keyboard did not.
I ended up with the Kingwin UPS2C(I could not locate it on Amazon, had to go elsewhere) and it worked fine. That was is only $4.99 and works perfectly even with a KVM.
Converter dependable so far... [Posted on 2008-04-06]
So far I have not had any issues with this converter. I have been using it for about 2 months now and am very satisfied. I only have my keyboard hooked to it at this point, but like the option of being able to hook a mouse to it too if I need it in the future. The converter was easy to install and has been reliable. No funny issues with my keyboard responding improperly.
Does not work with PS/2 KVMs [Posted on 2008-04-28]
This converter does not work to connect a Logitech USB wireless mouse on a PS/2 KVM switch. Someone said it did work, but it doesn't. I wish I wouldn't have wasted money on this.
Works with KVM and Dell [Posted on 2008-04-29]
I use this cable with a new Dell PowerEdge SC440 server and an old Apex Outlook KVM. Works great - no problem at all.
