StarTech Replacement PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter (GC46MFKEY) | Replacement Adapter Only

Fast delivery. However the adaptor didn’t work with my old keyboard

Careful. I should have spotted this as I have a long track record in IT. However, doing lots of things and this item was merely added to an existing order otherwise it would never have been bought. Here is the fact: Doesn't work. Clarification: Well, it didn't for me. Why? Well, PS/2=>USB electrical logic is just not there. I really should have known this from the outset but was too busy doing other things to actually think... The key word in the product description is 'REPLACEMENT.' If you own a keyboard with PS/2 and USB logic board, then you can connect it via this adapter. Otherwise it just isn't going to happen. It is £1.92 down the tube for me - but at least no shipping costs because it was an add-on. If I had been faced with having to factor in postage etc. then I suppose I would have paused, taken a breath and realised the silliness of my action - but as it was, it was merely added to that existing order and ended up being an irritation. Can't be bothered to return it. Either the vendor knows exactly what they are doing and are cleverly masking the deceit by including the word 'REPLACEMENT' in a highly ambiguous manner, OR they really do not have a clue what they are doing and sincerely do not realise that what they are selling is actually impossible to do (like selling striped paint). Whatever, not worth the effort of backtracking after making such a simple and fundamental mistake on my part.

Great product.. fast delivery.. done what I wanted it to do ⭐️

Amended: I have learned that windows 10 if installed from fresh removes PS/2 capability. Therefore this adapter serves no use: i should’ve just bitten the bullet and bought a USB keyboard. I have a HP genuine keyboard, with purple ps2 connector. works perfectly with my own PC. had one to repair for a friend - USB connection only for keyboard. I expected that this adapter would enable me to use my ps/2 keyboard in the usb hole. it all connects together but the DELL pc reports keyboard failure and will not operate (I borrowed a USB keyboard and that worked perfectly). not sure, therefore, what this adapter is of use for. not worth the hassle of returning it.

I needed to adapt PS2 connections on a rack mounted multi screen to new servers with USB only ports, a few of these saved me the cost of a new multi screen, worked perfectly.

So, I don't want to give a negative review as itay have been the age of the keyboard, but this connected the keyboard to the Chromebook, but no response. Product seemed to work

The item doesn't work with my keyboard. The keyboard lights up, but keystrokes do not register. Does it need specific drivers?

This adapter was not able to connect the ps2 keyboard with the laptop, it didn't have the integral chip or whatever it is that's needed, it isn't that clear which will work and which won't, could they be described more clearly?
