I replaced it with the Adesso PS/2 to USB Adapter, connects 2 PS/2 connectors to 1 USB port/hub (ADP-PU21 ), which I'm using to write this review. Two failed the same way. It was much more expensive, but it works. This didn't work with my MiniView SE KVM Switch. The mouse worked fine, but the keyboard worked for about 20 seconds, then started producing random keystrokes.
No idea why.Otherwise no complaints. This adapter works well when plugged directly into the keyboard and mouse. It did not, however, work well when plugged into the ps/2 ports of my KVM switch.
My old Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse worked. I'm quite happy with this device. Based on the reviews, it seems that this either works or it doesn't. And it is working fine on a HP laptop with Windows Vista and a wired Dell keyboard and mouse. It worked for me. I was using windows ME and Windows XP.
I bought this because it specifically says 'converter', but it's just an adapter and won't work for what I need.
Buy a USB keyboard instead. This was very handy to use a wired ps/2 mouse and keyboard to the PS3, but after a few months of use, it doesn't seem to work: the keyboard no longer seems to be on, the lights won't go on with the caps/num lock/scroll lock, and not even the mouse does anything. Tried with various keyboards/mice but it's this product that no longer functions.
