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
Response from startech.comBy Malcolm, Customer Support, October 20, 2017
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.
