Title: Converter
Post by: Spoiler on November 30, 2016, 02:00:24 PM

Ok so being really cheap and not wanting to buy another KVM I have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse on the cables to my KVM. The problem is the PC will only take a USB connection. I did a quick look and found some that fit the bill. I just wanted to know if anyone had a suggestion which to use.

The PS/2 to USB converter has been around a long time.
It takes both mouse and keyboard and only one USB port.

I have a Dell Inspiron 530S that is USB only and I am using USB/PS2 adapters for both the keyboard and mouse with my 2 port KVM and no problems.

I understand it been around for a long time. I was wondering if anyone used it and can suggest one that they have had good luck with it.

This is the one that I use and no problems. The KVM Male PS2 cables connect to the female PS2 on this converter. The converter connects to the USB port of USB only computer.
