1.0 out of 5 stars Why bother?, January 24, 2005

This review is from: Hawking HU2PS2 USB to PS2 Adapter (Personal Computers)

I was given one of these so I could use a PS/2 keyboard with my laptop. I thought I had a defective keyboard because keypresses were getting dropped. I would type the word "TYPEWRITER" and get "TPEWITER," which is very, very frustrating. I switched to a different keyboard, but got the same result. The keyboard would also appear to stop working, which turned out to be a stuck CTRL key, or other keys would stick. This was on two perfectly fine keyboards. Finally, I went out and bought a real USB keyboard, ViewSonic BM-KU-206, for about $14, and all my problems disappeared. The only conclusion is that this adapter doesn't work very well. Because you can buy the same keyboard I bought for $1-2 more, the question is why would you bother with this adapter?

I have used many of these repeatedly to solve connectivity issues with KVM's. No issues.
