I've amassed quite a collection of mice and keyboards over the years and they all were in perfect condition. The only problem was that they could not be used on my new laptop because the plug-thingies(Geek squad, please forgive my lingo) were round insted of flat like the ports in most new PCs. Instead of buying yet another mouse and keyboard, I purchased this adapter thingy and now I just plug the old mouse/keyboard into the round ends and the flat end plugs directly into my laptop. Perfect solution for a non-tekkie type

Title says it all. If you are looking for a product that is universal, I suggest purchasing the "TRENDnet" version. TRENDnet works with several brands of PCs and KVMs. Good luck.

I had no trouble using it with a KVM and Linux, which isn't the case for several other PS/2-USB converters I've tried. I don't see any reason to spend more for a different one, so I'm back for another one.

The converter works well with traditional keyboards. However, my KB is a wireless that has 1 USB connector and 1 PS2. Using a USB to PS2 adapter to then plug into this converter caused the KB to stop working, but the mouse worked just fine. A regular PS2 KB works just fine too.

For the price this is a good solution.

Enjoy

This device worked great for me. I used it to connect an AlphaSmart 2000 keyboard to my desktop computer - it worked also into a notebook computer. The AlphaSmart is obsolete, but is usefull for remote journalism and note taking and has a real long AA battery life. I can connect the keyboard to any USB enabled computer through this USB to Dual PS/2 Converter Cable, smart Adapter. <Send> files (up to 8) saved on the keyboard to any open window on the computer - email or word processor. What a great new life for an good old useful tool.

I have to attach specialty Russian keyboards to an entire classroom of Dell computers. Since the PCs no longer have PS2 ports without paying extra, I purchased the splitter, and it worked perfectly. I previously bought the single USB to PS2 converter and tried it on several different models and every USB port but the new Dells wouldn't recognize the device.

Wife and I use ergonomic keyboards, which have PS/2 connectors. When her office went to all USB computers unexpectedly, this connector allowed her to keep using the same keyboard. It arrived quickly, worked as stated and she was happy!

This product (Sabrent USB to PS2 adapter) just didn't work. I tried it with several different computers, keyboards, and mice and it wouldn't work. It was a piece of junk.

Keyboard PS/2 Port doesn't work. Not worth the effort trying to get the money back.

It made it really easy to hook up a regular mouse to my lap top computor.
