does its job..........2007-06-11
It helps in typing names in games and in the web browser, but still some "main" keys don't work, such as "Esc", "Pg Up"...
And you will feel the lack of a mouse, meaning you'll need to have the controller all time with you, even if you are just in the internet.

Awsome If you get a working one.......2007-12-14
This keyboard/controller combo works awsome if you can get one that actually works right. I have used these for years but have probably returned about 10 of them. They come defective, keys often type backwards and the controller buttons come stuck.
Great performance, poor quality.......2007-10-12
This Keyboard/Controller can't be beat when it come to ease of use and comfort. However this is my fourth one I have had to buy in three years due to the same flaw every time. The left Directional control keeps giving out in the X axis and makes the system believe you are always holding down, Until the plastic parts inside along the X axis break and you are no longer able to move fowards or backwards only left and right rendering the unit unusable. I am buying a fourth today since mine just gave out and I play FFXI, and I will proablly buy another in a year or so because there is nothing else out there like this and it's a nessecity if your playing a game that requires a combonation keyboard and controller. Hope this helps.
A must for online players!.......2007-06-13
My brother plays FFXI on th PS2 and almost REQUIRED this item (because it is such a great item!) and recently purchased one. I told him about all the bad reviews and how buttons are stuck ... but he bought it anyway. It was just as reviewed. Circle button stuck, mode button shuts off. But after you get past that the good points begin to stick out.
First off, the "broken" button works fine (as long as you aren't obsessive compulsive about the button clicking or pressing 'in'... a light tap works fine) and the mode button shutting off has something to do with the rumble function... but with such a big controller we didn't even want the rumble. After turning off the rumble or vibration function the mode button worked fine. I played .Hack//G.U. for half an hour with this controller to test it out and it works fine with these small tweeks. The keyboard (as previously reviewed) works wonderful and is the best part of this controller.
So considering this is a rare and no longer purchasable item, I would highly recommend it. The only people who won't enjoy this controller are those who are obsessive about the buttons and vibration function not working properly.
They're nice. . . while they're functional. . ........2007-05-31
I am an avid player of Final Fantasy XI, and this keyboard/controller is a very convenient tool. The keyboard works quite well, the controller part on the other hand. . .
I have had to replace three of these for the same reason; the analog sticks shut themselves off somehow, then you have to go and unplug and replug the controller cord in to fix the problem. This can be very bad when auto-running in Valkurm Dunes or any other dangerous area. >.>; That, and sometimes the analog sticks make you turn around and walk backward for no apparent reason, and it's hard to stop. I don't know how this happens to every one of my controllers, I am very gentle with them! >.
< I like these while the controller is working properly, but I do not like being forced to replace them every 6-8 months for the same irritating problems. . .
careful.......2007-05-25
we like the product however you might want to be careful where you get it from. ours was damaged when we received it. however, we were able to fix the problem.

Sony PS2 USB Keyboard........2007-01-21
well, I received the item I ordered, plugged it in, it didn't work. so I thought, maybe bad connection, so I plugged it in to another unit, it still didn't work, so, I plugged in the keyboards I was using, they worked. I am not going to send the unit back as I have thrown it away in the trash..I don't want my money back or a credit because it was a cheap item anyway. Lesson learned, don't buy cheap stuff.
almost smallest keyboard .......2007-01-06
Nice little keyboard for my Mac Mini. Wish it comes in White.
suitable for it's purpose, nothing fancy........2007-01-04
First, let me explain to you that this is intended for PS2, however it works for PC, and perhaps anything with a USB connection. (not tested on anything else besides ps2 and xbox)
However, it is very slim, the buttons are smaller, (especially number and f buttons) and the keys themselves don't have much press. By that I mean you don't push as hard or as far as a traditional keyboard. Combined with the small key size this becomes a nuisance with touch typists like myself.
However, for it's purpose as a PS2 keyboard, it fulfills its role, as I only use it to text chat in a small handful of games. (madden, etc.) However if your playing a game that relies heavily on it, I'd pass for a more traditional approach.
I plugged this into my PC to mess around with, and along with the touch problems mentioned above, it was not helpful in any way. Since you often use several keys and key combos in pc games, the feel was just off, along with the horrid size and complete absence of certain keys. (numpad and home/end/insert/pageup/pagedown/delete). So I would not recommend this as a keyboard to help save your normal one from wear and tear, as I said it's feel is just too far off for a pc keyboard.
With that, if your planning on using this as a external laptop keyboard or something similar, again I would not recommend it for that use.
This keyboard is great, for a very cheap affordable PS2 compatible keyboard that you most likely will very scarcely use with various online games, when the people you are playing/talking to do not or the game does not support voice.

Works great.......2007-12-17
I looked over all of these types of adapters on Amazon. Many had customer reviews that said they did not work. This one had pretty good reviews. In my environment, it works perfectly. I connected a ps2 keyboard to my new Dell Inspiron and it worked with no problem. I also connected a ps2 keyboard to an old KVM switch which has PS2 connections coming out of it. I used this product to connect the KVM to my Dell, and it works with no problem. Highly recommended.
Works reasonably well.......2007-08-19
I got this for a Lite-On wireless keyboard/mouse combo that has two PS/2 connectors. It's hooked up to a Mac Mini. I found that I had to swap the keyboard and mouse connections (i.e., purple-to-green and green-to-purple, instead of purple-to-purple and green-to-green) to get the mouse to work. For the most part this is working fine with the Mac Mini, but I've noticed that every time the Mac restarts, it needs to re-identify the keyboard. Also, a few times the keyboard and mouse functions have started freaking out a little - usually fixable by toggling Num Lock or Shift Lock a few times. I did have to reboot entirely once, though. It's hard to say whether the problem lies with this adapter, the keyboard, or the Mac - so I'm giving this four stars as it mostly appears to work as advertised.
Handy Item to have around.......2007-07-26
As a computer technician, I am always trying to connect antiquated equipment to new computers for clients, and this device fits the bill perfectly. I have used them for a few years and haven't had any problems. It is pretty simple, just plug in the PS/2 devices and it converts them to USB. This device is a lot better than the single plug converters, because they tend to be to large.
works on linux.......2007-07-20
I got this product to use on a couple Fedora Core 6 servers, which had no PS/2 ports. Took a whole of 10 seconds to get it working, plugged them in through my 8 port KVM swich. No problems.
Keysrokes cut out and it confuses NUMLOCK.......2007-07-03
While this adapter "works", it has two serious flaws. First, it cuts out frequently for a few seconds at a time, during which you can't type at all. This seems to happen every 5-10 minutes. And, occasionally, if you happen to by pressing one of the arrow keys while it's cutting out, it will register that as the associated number on the keypad and keep repeating that number until the reset process is complete. This happens even when you aren't using the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. Overall, I'm very disappointed in this device, and now I'm looking for a replacement. Fortunately, this dongle was cheap. Unfortunately, it was too cheap to be worth my time to pursue a refund.
