Monoprice PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse to USB Converter Adapter, Black

I am a old school keyboard collector. I bought this to use on a old keyboard. And this works on Windows 11. So far so good, no issues I've experienced yet. Using the old PS/2 keyboard like i did back in my childhood..

Pros- Economical- Works to adapt older PS/2 style round plug keyboards and mice to modern USB computersI have an older Kinesis Ergo Classic keyboard that is around 20 years old and has the older PS/2 style round keyboard connector. I hadn't used it in years since those PS/2 ports went away and switched to USB. I had actually purchased a newer Kinesis USB keyboard to use with newer computers because I didn't realize that these PS/2 to USB adapters exist.Once I bought one and tried it, I was able to use the 20-year-old keyboard again with all my current USB computers. It's been working well on all Mac computers that I've tried it on. No drivers are needed. The Mac just sees it as a standard USB keyboard. And Monoprice makes great economical cables and adapters that I've used in the past with no reliability problems.I highly recommend this PS/2 to USB cable adapter to anyone who loves their old PS/2 keyboards or pointer devices and wants to keep using them!

I'm using an old, old Micron PC keyboard back when they made real keyboards. I can type on it AND use it for a boat anchor! Works awesome to connect to my Alpine Linux (Edge) Computer via USB.

This is a great way to use an old keyboard on a modern computer. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux. It would be nice for it to be in a smaller form factor, but that's just a nitpick.I've had it for 3 years using it occasionally, but continuously for 6 months. I am ordering a second one to replace the first as it started becoming flaky such that the frequency of brief disconnects or stuck keys has increased, so overall not bad. Hoping the next one lasts longer.Update: No improvement with the new one. I'm also using this on a KVM, which is another variable in the equation.

Update: After a week of daily use I've noticed, very infrequently, that sometimes random keypresses and repeated/multiple keypresses of the same key can occur with this adapter. It's happened three times in 7 days. After looking over reviews, it seems this is a known issue. It's not enough to deter me from using it, but for gaming and order entry (or other highly accurate keyboard needs) you might want to look into a true USB keyboard. Deducting one star for this erratic behavior.I'm typing this review on a Windows 10 Pro PC with a HP KB-1156 Keyboard running through the Monoprice PS/2 adapter. Given the negative reviews, I was skeptical it would work... but I took a chance and I'm happy I did. Details on how I got it to work (the first time) are belowPros:- Takes a single USB slot for both PS/2 Keyboard & Mouse --> You can plug in just a keyboard, just a mouse, or both at once- OS Compatible (listed on package) with all versions of Windows from Windows 98/SE to Windows 7, Mac OS9 & OSX, and Linux- Works with Windows 10 (at least the Pro version)- Inexpensive!Cons:- The only con I have is it didn't have 2 day shipping... but at this price and functionality, it's worth it. Mine arrive in about a weekHOW TO INSTALL ON WINDOWS 10 (Probably why you are still reading this!)Note: This most likely works on all versions of WindowsBottom Line: You have to let Windows fully detect the device BEFORE you connect your mouse and keyboard. If you initally try to attach the converter with a keyboard and/or mouse it has a high probablility of failing to detect.1.) Boot Windows 10 fully2.) Do NOT connect your keyboard or mouse to the adapter yet3.) Plug the adapter into a free USB slot, Windows 10 will detect and install the device4.) Once it's installed (takes a few minutes), connect the keyboard and/or mouse and it should work perfectlyThis will get daily use (from November 2018) on. If it has any issues in the coming months/years, I will update the review accordingly. For now, it's a solid 5 star product.If this review helped you, please give it a thumbs up so it can help others!

Worked flawlessly powering my IBM Model M.

It works, not much more I can ask for from this
