Comments about Cables To Go USB to PS/2 Adapter:

The USB side had large ridges and had to be ground down smooth before they would fit in my PC

Cables To Go Response: FYI: That is not what this adapter is really for. This adapter takes a USB mouse or keyboard and allows it to connect to a PS/2 port on a computer. It does not work the opposite way. If you are connecting a PS/2 mouse or keyboard to a USB port on a computer, you would need our item #27225.

Comments about Cables To Go USB to PS/2 Adapter:

Would not work on my Dell laptop-System would not recognize. It's a great idea for compatible computer

Cables To Go Response: The USB device that he is using has to be compatible with both USB and PS/2 signals in order for this adapter to function correctly. If the USB device is only sending a USB signal, this adapter will not work. Certain keyboards and mice have a USB port and are compatible with both signal types.

Comments about Cables To Go USB to PS/2 Adapter:

The product was very well made, it would probably last forever under normal useage. My application was to be able to run two computers using one switchable Keyboard. Unfortunately I didn't realize that one of the computers couldn't use the keyboard that the other one used even though they were both Dell Computers, so the A/B Switch and the adapter I bought were all for nought.
