Works with mice, not with keyboards [Posted on 2006-07-03]
This adapter is perfect for those wishing to connect a ps/2 mouse to a usb-enabled motherboard; however, since keyboards require more voltage than mice, they often do not work with such adapters.
I tried this adapter with several IBM and Microsoft keyboards on several different machines, and none of the keyboards worked. They receive power, but not enough to function properly. I'm not sure if other, more expensive, adapters will allow one to connect ps/2 keyboards to usb ports. I may need to give in and simply buy a modern keyboard!
Should have read the other review - didn't work with my keyboard [Posted on 2008-03-27]
This doesn't work with my keyboard. I was hoping this would be a good option instead of having to buy a brand new keyboard. I guess that it has to do with the amount of voltage required to power the keyboard and not really this device's fault, but just the same it should be advertised as a mouse adapter.
