Great product.......2007-12-03
It is a really good product, and I bought it because i cannot use the numbers in my laptop, it takes to too much time to do the type of work I do (putting numbers in excel). It is practical, small and do not need to install or anyting for it to work, just plug in your keyboard and your computer and that's it. I recommend it.
USB to PS/2 Adapter.......2007-12-01
Works great, much cheaper then a new keyboard. Has been two weeks with no problems.
It works!.......2007-11-29
I had no trouble with the product. I plugged it to my laptop USB port and hooked the PS2 keyboard to it. It works as it says without needing any software. I am happy with the purchase price with the function it provided.
universal remote.......2007-11-27

Does not work.......2007-11-21
I have a Kinesis ps/2 contoured keyboard, which is admittedly a little unusual, but another adapter I have works fine. This one does not work at all. At least it's cheap enough that trying didn't cost much.

It didn't work for me, either.......2007-10-11
I should have paid more attention to the reviews as this didn't work for me, either. I got the same message, doesn't recognize usb. I don't know if there could be a driver for this. I don't think the product is necessarily defective, it just doesn't work with Windows XP.
Frustration.......2007-06-16
These PS2-USB "adapters" are the worst thing to ever come from mankind. Why? All they do is switch over wires to a different plug. They do not "magically" make ps2 products usb compatible or the other way around. Almost never in the product description is this told. Many people have bought these to be very disappointed that they don't work. On the other hand, if you know you have a compatible keyboard, they work well. Make sure your keyboard states it's compatible with usb-ps2 adapters before buying an adapter! The work of actually converting formats is done by the keyboard, not the "adapter".
Don't buy. Waste of money........2007-04-02
This product doesn't work. The manufacturer doesn't say that explicitly that it won't work with normal keyboards. Total loss of money.
REPLACEMENT adapter.......2006-09-25
The description here does not tell the whole story. The manufacturer's website states:
"This product is designed as a replacement adapter for keyboards that originally shipped with a PS/2 to USB converter. If your product did not ship with a converter, we suggest trying a USBPS2PC instead."
I believe this is why the other reviewers are complaining that the product doesn't work. I'm going to buy the "USBPS2PC", which I also found on Amazon (product number B00028OP2Y).
defective product.......2006-09-07
This item does not work. I bought it with 'lupoc' and after informing them that it did not work they were not very helpful in resolving this issue and their service was bad to put it mildly. Don't waste your time with this, it is a defective product.

Customer Reviews:
Does work on Mac OS X 10.4.9 iBook.......2007-05-06
Very good product. I purchased this adapter to connect a PS/2 connector barcode scanner to my PowerPC iBook running Mac OS X 10.4.9. When I first connected the adapter to the USB port on the iBook (after connecting the barcode scanner to the adapter), OS X discovered the keyboard connection and prompted me to go through a wizard for the computer to determine the keyboard type. If you do this, make sure to connect the keyboard to the adapter BEFORE plugging the adapter into the computer, so that it can make the appropriate device determinations. In order for the wizard to determine the "keyboard" type (ANSI), it prompted to hit the key to the right of the left shift key, and the key to the left of the right shift key (Z and / for my iBook). To do this with the barcode scanner, I printed custom barcodes for the characters with a barcode font and scanned them. The scanner now works well just as if it were connected to a PS/2 port on a PC. I would definately reccomend this product. Although I haven't tested it on a PC yet, I would assume it works since the box description indicates it would, and it works with a Mac.
Works great on our laptop.......2006-08-25
We have a brand new Sony Vaio running XP and this works great--haven't noticed any lag time in the mouse function (as was mentioned in a prior review) and it is very handy. A very decent product--I would recommend it.
Works fine on Mac and PC.......2006-04-23
This is a very useful device. It's highly compatible, and it works fine on both my Macintosh laptop (MacBook Pro) and my desktop PC running Windows XP. It does what it says it will do. The only minor complaint I have is that the mouse movement is not quite as smooth when using this device (both Mac OS X and Windows XP).
Other than that, it's great!
Doesn't work with a Mac.......2005-11-10
I tried using this to connect my PS/2 keyboard and mouse to my iBook. No luck. The mac thought that I had keys held down when I didn't, which made the setup totally unusable. On the package, but not in this online description, it mentions that a Windows machine is required.
Simple, basic, does the job it was meant for.......2004-03-18
Assuming you've got an available USB port on your PC, and are running a USB-compatible version of Windows (Win98SE or higher, or Windows 2000/XP), this product does exactly what you'd expect it to. Simple to use - just plug your PS/2-style mouse and/or keyboard into the unit, then plug the unit into an available USB jack on your PC, and Windows will autodetect the devices.
This is an excellent device to use if you want to attach two PS/2 style keyboard/mouse combos to the same PC - for example, if you've got both an adult and a child-size keyboard you want to run on the same PC, and both keyboards have PS/2 jacks.
Device also works great if you want to attach a PS/2 style keyboard or mouse to a laptop which has only USB ports.

Customer Reviews:
Great size, keys could be better.......2007-03-09
This is the perfect sized keyboard you've been looking for, if you want to get your mouse next to your keyboard on a smallish under-desk keyboard tray. It is a tremendous help ergonomically to have the mouse in the lower, nearer position. However, the keyson this keyboard are small, and have a very light bounce to them, and it is easy to mistype. Adesso could do more to give the keys a distinctive feel, so you really know where your fingers are. But if you are a decent typist, and don't mind running spell-check from time to time, this can work well.
2 stars.......2007-01-22
We purchased four units for warehouse kiosks at our plant.
The num lock will sometimes activate on these units for no apparent reason. One unit arrived with loose connections, and has an intermittant fault. A bit dissapointed with the quality of this item
workable if you don't use the "ctrl" key.......2006-01-13
My title explains most of it. This keyboard is a great price. It works wonderfully, is light and compact, and has decent key placement. Well, not all the keys are decent. There is one reason, one key, that tanks this keyboard for most people. The only ctrl key is out of place. Just try to do a ctrl-shift to a ctrl-c to a ctrl-v without breaking a finger on this darn keyboard. The horrid little "Fn" key is where the Ctrl key goes and it is a nightmare for a programmer. I'm sure anyone who uses MS Office products much will find it annoying as well. Other than that key, this keyboard isn't too bad.
A similar model of Adesso's is the MCK-91, which has the Ctrl key and the Fn key swapped so that they are in the right place, but it carries a few other problems I just found out. Neither the MCK-91 or MCK-901 are totally worthwile.
So it's basically "pick our poison". No manufacturer seems to have the perfect keyboard. Similar manufacturers, other than Adesso that I know of, are Cherry Corp, Zippy, and SolidTek. Adesso seems to be the best at the moment.
Product Description
The GUC10KM PS/2 to USB Keyboard and Mouse interface converter provides the means for PS/2 type keyboards and mice to connect to a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld computing device that supports the USB specification via the USB bus instead of using conventional bus technology.An advantage of this for notebooks, for example, is that now an external mouse and keyboard can be connected at the same time without causing conflicts. The GUC10KM comes with two standard 6 pin mini DIN female connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into and has an attached 16in. USB cable with a type A plug for connection to the PC's USB port, or to a USB hub. For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks, laptops, and handhelds - the GUC10KM adapter derives its operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it is a USB Specification compliant device, the GUC10KM supports energy-saving suspend and resume operations.

Customer Reviews:
Worked as it should. You don't even "know" it is attached to the PC :).......2007-03-09
You need to connect the splitter to the PC and let Win detect and install it before connecting the kb & mouse to it. PC also booted with no error when kb connected to splitter (without changing the 'kb not present' signaling in BIOS)! Didn't try on Linux...
