Works great if you understand what you’re buying
Another reviewer said it didn’t work at all… which is not the case if you use it with a keyboard that inherently supports PS/2 and USB (i.e. the IC of the device needs to be able to communicate using the PS/2 protocol). This adapter is a purely mechanical converter. Many modern keyboards don’t support it, some do. Your mileage might vary. Don’t blame StarTech for this though since it’s by design.

Doesn't work
I bought several of these for use with a USB keyboard, to connect it to a computer with PS/2 ports. I tried this on 3 different computers, none of the computers recognized the keyboard. I know the keyboard works because I use it on a computer with a USB port

Thank for you taking time to review our GC46FMKEY and I'm sorry it didn't work with your keyboard. Passively converting from PS/2 to USB or USB to PS/2 is only possible with mice and keyboards that are compatible with both PS/2 and USB connections.
