do not buy

I bought this so that I can use a PS2 keyboard and a PS2 mouse simultaneously on a computer that has only 1 PS2 jack, function combined. The cabe recevied didn't match the picture, and has the wrong style of DIN connectors: wrong number of pins, and wrong shape of plastic keyway. It won't mate with computer, keyboard, or mouse. Funny thing: it DOES mate with the S-video connector on the front of my DVR, but I never use S-video for anything. The received item was a black cable with black moslded-on connectors. The pictured item should have been a white cable, with a white DIN plug, a green din jack, and a purple din jack. As well as the DIN connectors pinned correctly. EXTREMELY disappointed.

Work as intended

I purchased this adapter to be able to use an IBM Model M (and an old Microsoft Mouse) with my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 via its dock. The thing is, the dock had a combo PS/2 port, not two separate ones.

These combo ports work by mapping one of the two devices to the regular set of pins and the other to a couple of unused pins. This means that you can plug one device in directly, which in most cases is the mouse, but to use the other device on its own or with the first device you need one of these adapters. So for example, I can use my mouse without this, but I can't use my keyboard or my mouse and my keyboard.

Most ports tend to make the mouse the default port, which if using a desktop is likely not what you want, but some use the keyboard as the default port. So, basically, if you get this and it isn't working, try swapping the mouse and the keyboard with each other.

As for this specific adapter, it seems to work perfectly, and I really can't make any complaints. Mine came in black, which I prefer, though I think the picture shows that off-white that was popular when PS/2 was common. So yeah, it does what it's supposed to and it won't break the bank!

Only works with specific software support

I bought this to help set up Windows 7 on a new machine with a single combo PS/2 port and no USB 2 ports at all - Only USB 3, which 7 does not support. If you use the mouse, it will disable the keyboard.

It works as expected in my Linux install, which tells me that this cable does work, but it will only work as expected if the OS has special code to handle a niche product like this.

To my other Windows 7 friends with a combo PS/2 port: Plug in the mouse, then when you boot into the install disk find the on-screen keyboard in the accessibility menu. Once you install and boot into Windows, you have more options to get your ports to work in 7.

Keyboard/mouse connector images on the cable are flipped

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

The product does what it advertised. You need to be wary of a few things:
a) Your motherboard should support Y PS/2 port (sometimes it has the port colored purple and green)
b) You need to have the serial port enabled in BIOS
c) The keyboard/mouse cables are flipped! To get it to work, I had to connect the mouse to the keyboard symbol on cable and the keyboard to the cable with the mouse symbol.

Didn't work

I have a ps2 port on the back of my computer that is labeled to be both a mouse and keyboard port. I assumed this product would split this dual port for me and allow me to use the single port for both items. No such luck. Maybe it is for a different configuration than mine or perhaps the wiring/connections are bad. Since it was cheap I didn't bother trying to find out. I used it on a Gigabyte Motherboard GA970A-UD3. If you do decide to buy this I hope it works better for you, but be wary none the less.

It does what it is supposed to do

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2010

This is a very simple device. Older laptops come with a special PS/2 port on the back that will take a keyboard, a mouse, or both. This works because the pinout on the laptop PS/2 port uses what are normally non-connected pins as secondary connection points for mice when the normal pins are in use by a keyboard. This splitter cable re-routes those non-standard pins back to the standard connections on a PS/2 mouse.

I used this splitter on a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop (circa 2001, Win XP) and it worked like a charm. The laptop was not handling USB connections for keyboard and mouse from a KVM switch properly, so a PS/2 connection was imperative. But with only one PS/2 port, I had either no mouse or no keyboard working. This splitter enabled me to connect both devices to PS/2 ports, and now they both work flawlessly.

Only try this device if the hardware you are connecting it to has some indication that the port can handle both devices simultaneously (e.g. it has purple and green, or pictures of both a keyboard and a mouse, or both indications). It will not split a standard PS/2 port, and cannot magically enable you to connect two PS/2 devices to one port.

this is as described

If you have a computer that has a combined key/mouse ps/2 port, you'll need this to hook up a keyboard and mouse. I have a few servers that were designed with the combined port, but the Y-adapters were lost long ago, so this fixed me right up.

Be sure you plug the keyboard into the keyboard plug and the mouse into the mouse plug. There are little pictures to help you out.

Once I was able to type on the servers, I was able to change the bios to allow USB key and mouse.
