However the adaptor didn’t work with my old keyboard Review: Doesn't work, CAN'T work (and I should have known better) - Careful. I should have spotted this as I have a long track record in IT. However, doing lots of things and this item was merely added to an existing order otherwise it would never have been bought. Here is the fact: Doesn't work. Clarification: Well, it didn't for me. Why? Well, PS/2=>USB electrical logic is just not there. I really should have known this from the outset but was too busy doing other things to actually think... The key word in the product description is 'REPLACEMENT.' If you own a keyboard with PS/2 and USB logic board, then you can connect it via this adapter. Otherwise it just isn't going to happen. It is Β£1.92 down the tube for me - but at least no shipping costs because it was an add-on. If I had been faced with having to factor in postage etc. then I suppose I would have paused, taken a breath and realised the silliness of my action - but as it was, it was merely added to that existing order and ended up being an irritation. Can't be bothered to return it. Either the vendor knows exactly what they are doing and are cleverly masking the deceit by including the word 'REPLACEMENT' in a highly ambiguous manner, OR they really do not have a clue what they are doing and sincerely do not realise that what they are selling is actually impossible to do (like selling striped paint). Whatever, not worth the effort of backtracking after making such a simple and fundamental mistake on my part. ## Features - Connect a supported PS/2 keyboard to the USB port on your computer - Note: This product is designed as a replacement adapter for keyboards that originally shipped with a PS/2-USB converter. If your product did not ship with a converter we suggest trying StarTech.com's USBPS2PC (ASIN: B00028OP2Y) instead. - Guaranteed reliability with lifetime support; RoHS compliant - PS2 to USB Adapter / PS2 Keyboard to USB Adapter / Keyboard PS2 to USB ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0009RKLMG | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,800 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 424 in USB to USB Adapters | | Brand Name | StarTech | | Colour | Purple | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connector Type | PS/2 (input) / USB Type A (output) | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars (460) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030812689 | | Input Voltage | 5 Volts (DC) | | Item Dimensions | 5.1 x 1.5 x 0.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Data Transfer Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Manufacturer Part Number | GC46MFKEY | | Model Number | GC46MFKEY | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 NaN | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | Matte | | Product Warranty | Lifetime | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | UPC | 065030812689 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Warranty Type | Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Purple - **Compatible devices:** PC - **Connector type:** PS/2 (input) / USB Type A (output) - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5.1 x 1.5 x 0.8 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** personal ## Images ![StarTech.com Replacement PS/2 Keyboard to USB Adapter - F/M - Keyboard adapter - PS/2 (F) to USB (M) (GC46MFKEY) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N4MzMeEdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by A***N on 21 June 2020* Fast delivery.
