Didn't work with my keyboard [Posted on 2007-01-22]
I ordered a few of these, because USB keyboards sometimes don't work with programs that boot into DOS mode (such as hard-drive scanning utilities).

However, I was disappointed to find out that these do not work with my Microsoft Comfort Curve keyboard. After some discussion with the seller, they sent me out another adapter (purple in color, like the PS/2 color code for keyboards) but that did not work either. The pinout is apparently the same on both adapters, so we didn't expect it would make a difference.

Apparently some keyboards do not support the USB/PS2 conversion, so be aware of that when buying these adapters.

Didn't work for me [Posted on 2007-03-09]
I have a really cool USB keyboard that I wanted to use with my KVM switch that only accepts PS/2 connections. I researched and researched and found that typically if your keyboard doesn't ship with a PS/2 adapter, no third party adapter will work with it either. But if the keyboard shipped with one, you'd likely not be looking to purchase one unless you lost the other.

Didn't work with my mouse or keyboard [Posted on 2007-05-21]
Be warned this may not work with your peripherals -- it didn't with mine.

they didn't work with my IBM M-type keyboard and a mac [Posted on 2007-07-18]
the (much more expensive) adaptors sold by clickykeyboards ended up working with my M-type keyboard. (I have a M13- I got it from e-bay - NOS. It is awesome)



from what I understand, the old M-types are touchier about this sort of thing than most keyboards, so these things might work for other keyboards.
