usb to ps 2 connector

Most commonly these adapters let you connect keyboards and mice. Some listings also note support for game controllers, DDR dance pads and other gaming input devices that expose controller buttons and vibration features.

Both types appear: some listings describe passive adapters that only change plug shape (no electronics), while other products are active converter cables with built-in USB interface electronics to translate signals.

The listings primarily reference legacy Windows versions (examples include Windows 98 up through Windows 7) and note compatibility with older USB specs (USB 1.0/1.1) as well as USB 2.0 in some descriptions.

“Dual PS/2” means the adapter provides two PS/2 female ports—typically separate keyboard and mouse ports—so you can connect two PS/2 devices through the same adapter.

It varies by product. Some adapters are plug-and-play with no extra drivers required, while other converter models specify installing a driver to enable full functionality.

Both directions are represented in the results: some products adapt USB peripherals to PS/2 ports, while others convert PS/2 devices to USB so legacy hardware can be used on modern systems.
