5.0 out of 5 stars Works under both Linux and Windows, November 19, 2005

By	Zeno Cosini - See all my reviews

I am using this adapter for connecting a keyboard and a mouse to one of the USB ports of my IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T43. Without requiring the installation of any drivers, the adapter works under both Linux (Ubuntu Breezy Badger) and Windows XP Professional. From time to time, the LEDs on my keyboard and the light of my optical mouse flicker for a moment, but this does not have any adverse effects on the functionality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with KVM & Mini Mac, April 29, 2006

By	J. T Tatsuda "Computer Techie" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a 4 port KVM switch that I use to switch my monitor, keyboard, and mouse between various computers. However, I had no way to attach my Mini Mac to this device since the Mini Mac only has USB ports (no PS2 ports) for mouse and keyboard. I bought this adapter to connect the Mini Mac to the KVM, and it works great!

5.0 out of 5 stars The One to Buy, January 11, 2008

By	FredZarguna "adeveloper" (Boalsburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I have 4 computers connected through a KVM switch, and the newer ones have no PS/2 ports. I've tried virtually all of the available alternatives, and this is the only one which has worked right out of the box with both an HP laptop (Vista) a Dell Desktop (Vista) and a Gateway desktop (XP SP2). The workmanship on other splitters was awful--I returned one of the alternatives you can find on Amazon 3 different times--once the mouse worked, but not the kbd, once the kbd worked but not the mouse. I tried another unit where the kbd and mouse wire had to be swapped, and it stopped functioning in about two weeks. The replacement shipped for that one did not work at all...

This one worked right away on three different machines.

Go buy a cheaper one that you'll have to RMA 2 or 3 times before you give up, convince yourself that I'm right, and then come back and get this one. For the extra $8-$10 this one costs you'll be much happier.
