This adapter allows us to still use an old keyboard and mouse that don't have USB connectors. Saved us lots of money to be able to use the components we already own. Also, our kids are reluctant to adapt to the newer mouse styles (requiring more use of fingers than moving the entire mouse). We had many problems with wireless mice not working after heavy duty computer game use (lots of movement of the mouse), so the wired mice work best for us! This adapter allows us to use the type of components (older) that we prefer!

Serious P.I.T.A.

When the mouse and keyboard are plugged in to the adapter, every few seconds the LEDs on the keyboard flash, and during the flash, and for a moment after the flash, any characters that have been typed are completely dropped. This has caused a severe reduction in typing speed and accuracy. I would not recommend this to my friends, because they would think I was trying to play a practical joke on them. I wouldn't even recommend it to someone I DON'T like…

      Comments about Staples USB-to-PS/2 Adapter:

      This adapter gets the job done. I use it to convert my favorite PS/2 keyboard to USB. No issues with the adapter. It's solid and feels like it will last for a long time. The connection points are solid and sturdy. The adapter adds another 6-8 inches of length to your PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse cable -- which is good if your computer is under or behind a desk.

      I took off one star for the price. It seems a bit expensive for a passive device. Still, the adapter works great and I'm happy with it.

                Yes this product should work for your connections of the circular PS/2 device to your USB port.

              • A:

                Yes, this product is made to connect the older circular prongs (PS/2) mice and keyboards to a USB port. The make of your keyboard or mouse won't matter.

                Just connect the keyboard to the purple jack and the mouse to the green and you should have no problems at all.

I want to connect either turn my mouse or keybord to a PS2 connect. Is this what I need if not please let me know what it is that I need to purchase.

                Your USB to PS/2 adapter may be defective. I recommend that you unplug it, then replug it into your device. If the message is the same, please return this product to Staples for an exchange or refund.

                A:

                I am a customer and do NOT have knowledge of the inventory. I seem to recall that there was a single adapter for mice, but the keyboards require special 'stuff' and the mouse cable was spliced in as a bonus. Don't use it, but I won't cut it off because (if my wireless USB mouse fails) I might want to connect a PS/2 mouse.

                Unfortunately, Staples only carries one type, one brand and it's not a very good one. It constantly requires you to plug it into different ports and reboot when it "loses" one of the components.
