The StarTech PS22USB PS/2 to USB Keyboard and Mouse Adapter converts a USB keyboard and mouse to PS/2 connections allowing you to connect a newer USB-based keyboard and mouse to legacy systems that only have PS/2 connection ports available.
Newer USB keyboards and mice cannot simply use simple adapters to connect to PS/2 ports, as the signal is of a different nature, so active conversion is required for full functionality.
Supporting plug and play installation with no software or driver requirements, the PS/2-USB adapter offers a cost-effective way to bridge USB peripherals with a PS/2 based computer. For systems that have both PS/2 and USB connections, this compact device can also be used to free up 2 USB ports.
Converts a USB keyboard and Mouse to PS/2 ConnectionsThis adapter features two USB connections for separate keyboard and mouse input, converting a USB keyboard and mouse to PS/2 connections. It supports the use of combo 2-in-1 keyboard and mouse connections (wired only).
ApplicationsWith this adapter, you can connect newer USB peripherals to legacy or specialized computer systems with PS/2 only, or use your system's existing PS/2 interfaces to free up USB ports.
Easy to UseNo drivers or software required makes connecting a USB keyboard/mouse via PS/2 truly plug-and-play. Compact design with no external power requirements for a simple, all-in-one solution.
