Response from Staples :
Thank for you taking time to review our GC46FMKEY and I'm sorry it didn't work with your keyboard. Passively converting from PS/2 to USB or USB to PS/2 is only possible with mice and keyboards that are compatible with both PS/2 and USB connections. Please see our FAQ for more information: https://www.startech.com/faq/ps2_cables_adapters_compatibility#GC46FMKEY
