PS/2 USB Converter

Overview

• This conversion adapter is an adapter that converts a USB keyboard to a PS/2 keyboard.
• It converts a USB keyboard that works with standard drivers so that it can be used as a PS/2 keyboard.
• The conversion direction is reversed compared to other conversion adapters sold on the market.
• This adapter is used to convert a USB keyboard to PS/2 when the system only supports PS/2 keyboards, such as with an old PC or a console machine.

[USB Keyboard] <- USB -> [PS/2 USB Converter] <- PS/2 -> [Old PC, Console]

Notes

• Because the USB keyboard is converted to the PS/2 standard, we cannot guarantee compatibility with all devices or key inputs.
• We cannot guarantee compatibility with all devices.
• Keyboard-specific functions such as volume control and mail buttons cannot be used.
• We have confirmed operation with Logitech Japanese and English keyboards, but we cannot guarantee operation with all USB keyboards.
• Some keys may not work with keyboards in languages ​​other than Japanese and English.
• Because it uses a PS/2 standard conversion, key response and key repeat behavior may differ slightly from when connected via USB.
• Problems may occur when connecting to a PS/2 keyboard and mouse combined port. Please connect the keyboard and mouse separately using a split cable.
• Connection via a USB hub is not supported. Please connect the keyboard's USB directly.
• If key response is delayed, the power-on reset may have failed. Please unplug and replug the adapter while the keyboard's USB is connected.
• Unofficially supports conversion between USB mice and PS/2 (only mice recognized as standalone mouse devices, not composite devices, are supported).
