I took this up with Logitech tech support (June 28, 2013). The first tech rep I spoke to said it's OK. When I got cut off mid-conversation, I called again, and was connected to another tech guy who wasn't sure. He spoke to the product specialist, who recommended against it. I got the impression that earlier versions were provided with adaptor capabilities, but the more recent version has not been tested (and is therefore not supported) for PS/2.

No...device is only compatible with WA series Klipsch subs. It has a special plug in connector...looks like the old PS2 keyboard/mouse connectors.

PS/2 keyboards have a standard wiring configuration. If the device uses a PS/2 interfaceit is setup to accept any keyboard with a PS/2 connector.

I don't own a Logitec keyboard, but the symbol on the StarTech Adapater end is for a PS2 keyboard and the other plug in has the symbol on it for your PS2 mouse. Keyboard are plug- and-play equipment and unless you have a very unusual keyboard it should work just fine. You will find plenty of all kinds of keyboards anyway at garage sales for $1-2 if you have something very unusual. But, I see hundreds of them and I've never seen anything unusual about a keyboard other than those that communicate via remote signal. I have Logitec speakers and mouse and they all work in a conventional manner. If it has a PS2 end on it, you should be fine.

I want to know the exact same information. I desperately need a keyboard for my PS3 and not sure if this will do the trick. Will gladly buy it if it does. Have you found any research that shows it would work?

I had this plugged into the back of a desktop tower and then the older style ps2 keyboard and mouse plugged into it, so as long as the keyboard and mouse cables will reach it should work fine.

Not working with Sony VAIO desktop keyboard (PS/2). After that I bought a Logitech keyboard (USB connection) from Walmart.

As long as you have a USB connection open on the computer and your mouse/keyboard are the old ps2 connection, then yes this will work just like your old computer.

Any updates? Does this keyboard now allow for the mapping of a "Start" and "PS" button?! Please advise, I'm thinking of getting a keyboard but I don't know which one to buy for the ps3. The $80 doesn't seem to work that well (well, it's imperfect without any way to overcome its flaws).

You mean you need to plug the keyboards into the USB port? Check out this and similar ones, this one? You plug the keyboard into the end of it then plug the USB plug into a USB port on your computer ;))Adesso PS/2 to USB Adapter, connects 2 PS/2 connectors to 1 USB port/hub (ADP-PU21 )Alternatively, you can buy "just the actual plug in both purple and green":BisLinks® Mini USB 2.0 Type A Male To PS2 Female Mouse Keyboard Quality Converter AdapterI'm sure either of those are what you're looking for to connect with to your computers from your PS/2.

Yes. In fact I have two keyboards connected to the computer now - sort of like a church organ. One is USB, the other is PS2 through the adapter

Its just a PS2 connecter you can go to most resale shops or Goodwills and pick those keyboards up for a couple of dollars. Most everything is USB2 or 3 know so everyone got rid of the old PS2 connecters

Yes it worked for mine. Just hook a hdmi from converter to tv then the provided usb cable from ps2 to converter.

All I know is that the ps2 plug fits and the onboard chip works to convert it to USB. I wouldn't think anything past that should be a concern unless this keyboard had special requirements with the standard ps2 connection.

The only difference is the packaging. As far as the connection, it is USB only. There was no adapter for PS/2. This is a very good keyboard. I would not consider this a "cheapie" keyboard. Yes the price is very low, however I have been working with this keyboard for a couple of months now and I love it and it feels like a quality keyboard.
