There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is being used on the back of a laboratory instrument where the keyboard gets moved around a lot. It doesn't come loose or indicate any sort of quality deficiency.
The material on it is sturdy and durable, or else my laboratory technicians would have it destroyed by now.
The previous adapter that we had was good too, just after 10 years of wear, our keyboard stopped typing. We tried different keyboards in case it was a faulty keyboard, but after replacing the adapter, it seems we found a good replacement to last us a long time!
I would definitely buy this again if I needed another one.
also bought about 25 of the green StarTech USB mouse -> PS2 mouse. about half of those also involved a 10' USB extender. no issues.

If you find this to be the case, search for "active" USB-to-PS2 adapters and/or KVM switches that accept USB input and provide a PS/2 output as these often "emulate" PS/2.
