Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Adesso PS/2 to USB Adapter, connects 2 PS/2 connectors to 1 USB port/hub (ADP-PU21 )Customer Review: Bait and Switch Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this based on reviews I read here to hook up USB to 4 port KVM. I've looked at buying a new DVI switcher but since I need 15' cables, I don't feel the need to upgrade. I have an old professional Bytelan switcher (VGA & PS2) which works great -- its hot swappable and I've rarely had problems. I had purchased a USB/PS2 Y cable at Staples which works, and decided to hold off getting a DVI switcher until the prices come down.
But I needed 2 more PS2/USB converters. Read reviews here and since others said theirs worked great on Dell & Lenovo, paid more for this cable through Amazon because other buyers had good luck.
I've been trying to use this cable for a couple of days, but am constantly having to reboot PC. Today, I swapped cables. Staples cables works. This cable -- mouse freezes and have to reboot. It can be really irritating when you're in the middle of work.
Fed up, I looked up markings. Instead of Adesso ADP-PU21, I got shipped EZ-PU21 which looks like the Adesso cable, minus brand name packaging. Even down to the label markings on the cable, it looks like Adesso. But the cable is glitchy. Rebooting constantly because signal is too weak to make it through the KVM.
Now I could say my problems are going through adapters to a PS2 KVM, but if that was the case, why does the Staples cable work? Why does this EZ-PU21 with googled reviews dated between 2003-2008 not work? And why, when I'm buying an Adesso ADP-PU21 and I even struggling with an EZ-PU21???
Googling EZ-PU21, its made by AVS or some other company. Newegg reviewers all say they have the same problem with EZ-PU21 on KVM. Doens't work.
BE WARNED!!! You may not be getting what you paid for!!!!
