Good but not Perfect

Syba SY-USB-PS2 USB to PS/2 (Keyboard & Mouse) Adapter
Syba SY-USB-PS2 USB to PS/2 (Keyboard & Mouse) Adapter

Comments: This adapter was very flaky with the MS Intellimouse PS/2. The cursor would inexplicably jerk around the screen and click at random times. Wasn't just the mouse - I tried it with multiple identical known-good mice on different computers. The adapter works perfectly with a simple MS 2-button PS/2 mouse though. So, if you have a more complex mouse, this adapter might not do the job for you. With simpler mice it works just fine.

Comments: These cards are a little unpredictable as to what you'll actually get in the box. I got a card clocked at 350/325, with 4 pipelines disabled. I installed the Omega drivers, unlocked all 8 pipes, and used ATITool to clock the card up to its max, which turned out to be 390/350. Still, you get what you pay for from Jetway.

Comments: After hearing other stories of hit-and-miss experiences with such cables, I was pleased to find that using this cable with an old Canon Bubble Jet and Windows XP SP2, I didn't even need to insert the included driver CD.
