Perixx PERIPRO-401 PS2 to USB Adapter for Keyboard and Mouse - Built-in USB Controller - Black

Holding a single key down (like W for gaming) results in the stream of key signals being terminated eventually. Typing or programming this works great. Tested with Lexmark IBM Model M.

Since my new computer only takes USB hookups and my new keyboard is much narrower/smaller keys, I started looking for a PS2 to USB adapter so that I could still use my old keyboard -- which has an old PS2 socket. Looked around the internet and found only imposters. This one actually works! No software needed. After booting up the computer, I unhooked the USB for the new keyboard -- then plugged in the PeriPro adapter to let the computer recognize it (Windows 10). After the adapter was recognized, I then plugged in my old PS2 keyboard to the PeriPro adapter and voilà. It works great!

The sales agent at Best Buy said I could not use my high-quality keyboard and mouse with my new computer due to old connectors on them. I love my ancient keyboard and mouse. The keyboard has keys, not flat buttons-- finding this adapter and hat it really works has saved me from anxious hours of adjusting to the new, cheap, horrible keyboards. Perfect and recommended!

Tried other devices that failed. This conversion device functions as stated.

I bought two (2) of these adapters. The adapter appears to be well made. It wasnt what I thought I ordered for the purpose I had in mind at the moment I ordered; however, there was an old PS/2 IBM real keyboard that has been sitting around waiting to be used. It was to replace the AWFUL plastic piece-of-junk, less than full size, USB keyboard that came with the latest computer purchase. I also had an optical mouse with a PS/2 connector that replaced the horrid roller ball mouse that also came with the latest computer purchase. So the oops order became the order that allowed me use quality equipment from the olden days. Im happy, I gave five (5) stars, and now I can really type on the full-size keyboard and use a mouse that does not skip. BTW, the adapter works!

I work with many computers and this USB to PS/2 adapter has come in handy many times, so much that I have purchased multiple units. So far this unit has worked in every new PC I needed to add to PS/2 based KVMs. Interestingly enough, while this dongle also works to allow PCs to boot headless through a BIOS that does not have an option to skip keyboard errors on POST, I found that it allowed a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 motherboard to boot with a brand new Corsair Gaming K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard that can only be plugged into a USB 3 port. Just having this adapter plugged into a regular USB port allowed the PC to boot past the POST screen into Windows 10, where the OS loaded the keyboard drivers to recognize the keyboard and allow one to log on and use it normally. Worth the $6 to use new keyboard on old system.

Needed this converter from PS2 to USB in order for my wifes keyboard to work. It now works fine. Did not need the mouse adapter.

grest uograde, my dell inspiron 3910 desktop only came with 256 gb m.2 ssd , so I wanter to increase my storage capacity. Samsung Magician clone software made the upgrade easy!

The Perixx PERIPRO-401 PS2 to USB Adapter for Keyboard and Mouse with built-in USB Controller saved my older but favorite keyboard. I had upgraded my PC mother board and newer MBs dont use the old PS2 style plug. This adapter was a perfect solution. Very satisfied with this product.

Worked great! Allowed my friend to continue using his old PS2 keyboard with a brand new computer
