## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good buy
*by P***Y on August 27, 2025*

good product

### ⭐ Doesn't work read WHY
*by N***D on June 5, 2025*

Doesn't work for my Dell Keyboard and apparently this is pretty common for older keyboards. Here's what I found out...In general, most users having trouble connecting their keyboard to newer computers are looking for a ps/2 to USB signal CONVERTER. These devices use an integrated circuit (pre-programmed chip) to actively translate the ps/2 keyboard signal and convert it into a USB keyboard signal. SO why is this company selling a product that won't necessarily work? Well they know that most people are not going to bother returning a $6 purchase right. Well not me, the ups store is near me and this thing is going back for a refund, it's not the money it's the principal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device, great price...
*by K***N on August 5, 2015*

FYI - This device does not change an older PS/2 to USB because you want it to. It has to be made with this ability to do so.I bought this device for a totally different reason and it worked like a champ.We use KVM extenders to place a keyboard, mouse and monitor hundreds of feet away from the actually pc panel in which protects the pc from surge, heat and dirt. Newer pcs only come with usb and we needed to test out a newer pc setup on this one machine, but the KVM extender (over 300 bucks) was PS/2. The people are already using a wireless mouse and keyboard set, so I only needed to get the screen to come up.Unfortunately, the PS/2 connectors supply power to the transmitter. This device allowed the power from the usb to be input into the transmitter and get the vga on again. Worked like a charm, did exactly what I needed.Please do some research before reviewing a product saying that it doesn't work. Not everything does what you want it to because you think it should. Your ps/2 device would have to have been made with this in mind and not many except those made towards the end would have gone this way. USB devices to be ran from the ps/2 port, very common. A PS/2 device running off USB, not very common at all.
