Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sabrent SBT-PS2U USB to Dual 2-Port PS/2 Splitter Cable ConverterCustomer Review: Works (for a while) and it's less expensive than a new keyboard Summary: 4 Stars
I liked my old PS/2 keyboard, but it wouldn't connect to my desktop-replacement 17" Dell laptop. So I turned to this adapter cable. I only needed one of the PS/2 connections. Good thing, because the other one is evidently not working properly. It works ok at first and then at least one key (not always the same one) will fail to work until the keyboard is disconnected then reconnected. Short story is that it got the job done less expensively than a new keyboard.
Update: Late October, 2008 - My keyboard stopped working. I haven't done extensive testing, but my assumption is that this adapter has completely failed. I ended up getting a new native usb keyboard. If I had the opportunity to change my star rating it would be max of 2 stars.
