Reviews

 Works like a champ
I use this to hook up a PS/2 keyboard (Kinesis Ergo, in case you're wondering) to my PowerMac, by plugging it in to the extra USB port on the Mac's keyboard. Everything's working great so far. Both keyboards work at the same time (more a function of USB than this adapter, but it's nice to know that it doesn't mess anything up). It has LEDs for the mouse and keyboard to show you whether the connection to them is active, which can help troubleshoot any problems.
