handyman315 7/14/2012 1:54:29 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 5/5It Works! Pros: After literally trying a box of varieties, this puppy worked with my mish mash 4-way KVM set up with mostly PS/2 connections. My uber expensive ASUS P9X79 Deluxe motherboard decided PS/2 connections for the mouse/keyboard are history; no doubt the wisdom of some 20-year old marketing types. This KVM hangup deal was the one blemish on an otherwise very complicated build. Thanks StarTech for making what we need, not what Marketing wants to sell. Your 67-year old geek friend. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: StarTech and Newegg rule. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/16/2012 9:28:39 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Adapter adapts wonderfully! Pros: After reading all the reviews of the cheaper adapters, I decided not to waste any time or money on the cheap route. This adapter does exactly what is says. The construction quality appears solid as well. As a gamer, I was worried about some of the reviews that mentioned dropping keystrokes if long pressing keys. I had zero issues with this. So...if you're a gamer with an older keyboard that you love and a newer MoBo that doesn't support PS/2...get this item! You won't be disappointed. Cons: None noted. Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 4/14/2012 3:09:30 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Not Recognized by BIOS Pros: It works with my old Keytronic PS2 keyboard, which is why I bought it for use with my new PS2-less computer. No problems with gaming or repeating keys. Cons: Not recognized by BIOS, but it may be just my machine. Other Thoughts: Works fine in both Windows and Linux, however, it's not recognized at the BIOS level, at least not in time to enter BIOS setup or specify a boot option. This is a big downer for me because I'm always reloading OSes and booting off of thumb drives. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
