Works with netbook USB 2.0 ports and KVM ps/2 plugsJul 31, 2011
By sjfeinbe
I bought this hoping it would work with my netbook and Belkin ps/2 KVM switch. It works very well, but one must be mindful of certain things. When the netbook first boots (windows xp) it takes some time before the adapter is recognized (adapter is alrady connected to the ps/2 plugs on my KVM) via the usb 2.0 port to which it's already connected. This is, of course, normal. Once the adapter is recognized the mouse is almost instantly ready to use. The keyboard requires a keystroke or three before it's recognized. The lights on the keyboard will blink as if responding to a computer's POST boot routine. After that the keyboard is ready to use. These are minor issues to anyone expert enough with computer devices to understand that they all have quirks. I can use my KVM switch normally, after both mouse and keyboard are recognized, to flip between the netbook and whatever other computer is hooked up to the other set of cables on the other side of the KVM switch. This is EXACTLY what I wanted! One small extra note: my keyboard is an ancient Maxi-Switch keyboard with the function keys (F1 - F10) on the left side. It is at least 25 years old. It uses a large older style pre-ps/2 plug that needs a ps/2 adapter to plug into my KVM switch. So through adapters, KVM, and an ancient keyboard, it all actually works!

Works Great Out of the BoxJul 18, 2011
By smgsmc
I have a new laptop running WIN 7, 64-bit. USB keyboards and mice are relatively inexpensive these days, but I have a stash of PS/2 keyboards and mice that are 10+ years old. New units have undergone aggressive cost cutting, and I've found that the old units are more ruggedly built than most new units. In particular, I like the tactile feedback of the old keyboards with spring-loaded keys; and I like the heft of the old mice. The desired "feel" of keyboards and mice is purely a matter of personal preference, of course.
This converter is ruggedly made, like most Belkin products. This converter connects two PS/2 devices to a single USB port. I plugged the USB connector in the USB port of my laptop, and plugged a keyboard and mouse in the PS/2 connectors. That's all it takes for installation. No drivers to load.
I did need to reboot my laptop for it to recognize the keyboard and mouse. Works fine. I've tried this converter with about 6 different models of keyboards and about 6 different models of mice. One reviewer has reported problems with a specific setup, but I have not encountered any problems with my combinations of software and gear.

Works great for Symbol BarcoderMay 28, 2009

Got this for a Symbol 2D barcode scanner to be converted from its PS2 (male) to a USB cord. Plug it into the keybord side of this adapter and it works great.

Works as advertised with old Microsoft Natural KeyboardNov 10, 2010
By Eric Fisk
"hedaval"
My system is 32 bit Windows 7 and I was reusing an old Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard with my docking station. Nice to save the money + not have to throw out the old keyboard. No configuration issues at all- just plug it in and use it.

It works w/KVM switchFeb 15, 2011
By BearHug
It works. Did have to go through a little bit of a process. Brought computer up with a USB mouse and keyboard (system installed needed drivers), then brought it up with the adapter hooked to a PS2 keyboard and mouse (system installed needed drivers). The hooked it to the KVM switch and it worked fine. It did not work when I tried the KVM switch first.
