I tired a plain adapter already, but it didn't work. Will I be able to use my old Kinesis Classic that has a ps/2 plug with this?

I looked up the Kinesis and it would seem to be a basic ergonomic keyboard. Should work just fine, however no guarantees.

Hi: It seems that not all keyboards will work. I tried the individual adapter types and some very similar looking to the SANOXY over the counter and much more expensive cable type adapters - no luck. Then I bought this adapter since the price was so low that I could not loose much. When it finally arrived from China I plugged it in and things are working fine: ie one PS2 keyboard and One PS2 mouse into one USB2 port. If your Keyboard will work is anybody's guess. If your keyboard is important to you, just try it - it worked for me.

This thing is tricky. I tried 6 different combinations and finally the one at the link below worked.Input 110-220VAC ~ 50/60Hz Output DC 12V 4000mA/Pyramid PS2K AC to DC Adaptor

no I believe the original xbox controller had a round plug similar to gamecube. there may be an additional adapter to convert to usb but the product in question only has a usb port and a ps2 controller port

I am using one on windows 8. I have used this type of adapter with only one device (mouse or keyboard) connected. Just be sure you connect each PS-2 device to the correct prot on the adapter.

There shouldn't be any problem. I understand they are backward compatible. I'm extremely pleased with my Phiaton PS and would highly recommend it anyone looking for the best unit available at this time.

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.

It should. I only used it to connect a standard 2-axis, 2-button joystick, but it enabled a number of different available options under the gameport item in my control panel. In fact, the only set up that reallly worked for me was one called 2-axis, 8-button joystick. Ii has worked OK on a P-4 USB port along side a USB X-Box games pad.

I was not able to get the adapter to work with my equipment ... sorry I can't be of more help.

If your keyboard has a pair of PS2 connectors on it, this ought to work fine. One connector is for the keyboard and the other for the built-in touchpad or mouse.Mark Kinsler, Lancaster, Ohio USA

No, its basically like the old PS2 Eye Toy. It has some similar functionality as the Kinnect, but its quite underpowered in comparison. Also, since its not mandatory, I doubt there will be much support for it from developers.

It will work, however, I found that model to work poorly, with lots of key repeats. In my opinion, a better choice is this model with a short USB extender like this so it doesn't get in the way of the rest of your USB ports. So far this model has worked flawlessly for me, without out of control key repeats. (Note however that it does not handle a PS/2 mouse, just the keyboard.

the point is not the computer you have but which mouse. you see not all Ps/2 mice are alike nor are all similarly conformed adapters. Many people find that these do not work. You are safer and more likely to save money, frustration and be happier with the resultant mouse if you just buy you a new mouse.

Hi, no, it will not work. Your old duplicator will need a similar IDE drive to work because your controller and power supply might need the same exact drive. Adapter won't work if the power supply and the controller is not compatible with certain elements of the drive. Also, keep in mind in that all of your drives will need to be similar if you need to trouble shoot. It's on the safe side as all of the drives will work the same, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, this drive will not work with your old ide duplicator. It's best to check to see which IDE drives works the best with your unit's components (ie controller and power supply). Hi, no, it will not work.

You need an adapter if you don't want to use batteries. I used one for a PSP and it works great.

Yes, the legacy ps/2 connection is the only one of its sort for peripherals, all others are usb.

I used this cable to connect and old KVM switch with ps2 connections only to a new computer with usb only. Keyboard worked ok but couldn't get the mouse recognized. Had another adapter in use with another computer. Verified the issue moves with this adapter. Not sure if the problem is with the adapter or switch.

Hi - I haven't seen an adapter of any kind. My unit only worked for 1 day! I certainly enjoyed it, and I hope you have better luck . . .
