It has to be made with this ability to do so. I bought this device for a totally different reason and it worked like a champ. We use KVM extenders to place a keyboard, mouse and monitor hundreds of feet away from the actually pc panel in which protects the pc from surge, heat and dirt. Newer pcs only come with usb and we needed to test out a newer pc setup on this one machine, but the KVM extender (over 300 bucks) was PS/2. The people are already using a wireless mouse and keyboard set, so I only needed to get the screen to come up. Unfortunately, the PS/2 connectors supply power to the transmitter. This device allowed the power from the usb to be input into the transmitter and get the vga on again. Worked like a charm, did exactly what I needed. Please do some research before reviewing a product saying that it doesn't work. Not everything does what you want it to because you think it should. Your ps/2 device would have to have been made with this in mind and not many except those made towards the end would have gone this way. USB devices to be ran from the ps/2 port, very common. A PS/2 device running off USB, not very common at all. Review: Adapter != Converter - Got old keyboards hanging around that you want to use with your USB capable devices? Well, forget about that crazy idea, unless you want to throw down more money than a cheap USB keyboard costs. I appreciate your desire to maintain legacy technology for the sake of sharing your savvy, but this little gadget isn't going to make things work. It's just going to have windows tell you it sees some unrecognizable USB device that it doesn't know what to do with.... and unless you've got some serious motivation to make this work, it's probably not worth your time. Nothing against the people who make this mind you, but it's just not going to do what you might hope, given a naive understanding of serial communication. This is being said because i'm an idiot and found out firsthand after buying two. ## Features - Connect a supported PS/2 keyboard to the USB port on your computer - Note: This product is designed as a replacement adapter for keyboards that originally shipped with a PS/2-USB converter - Guaranteed reliability with lifetime support; RoHS compliant - PS2 to USB Adapter / PS2 Keyboard to USB Adapter / Keyboard PS2 to USB ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009RKLMG | | Best Sellers Rank | #161 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | 1 Replacement PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter - F/M | | Color | Purple | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connector Type | PS/2, USB Type A | | Current Rating | 1 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 out of 5 stars 1,891 Reviews | | Finish | Purple | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030812689 | | Item Dimensions | 2 x 0.6 x 0.3 inches | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 2 x 0.6 x 0.3 inches | | Manufacturer | Startech.com | | Mfr Part Number | GC46MFKEY | | Model Number | GC46MFKEY | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 NaN | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 065030812689 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime warranty | | Warranty Type | Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Color:** Purple - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connector Type:** PS/2, USB Type A - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 2 x 0.6 x 0.3 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech.com Replacement PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter - F/M - Keyboard adapter - PS/2 (F) to USB (M) - GC46MFKEY, Purple - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N4MzMeEdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great device, great price... *by K***N on August 5, 2015* FYI - This device does not change an older PS/2 to USB because you want it to.
