 Fast typists don't bother December 23, 2008
The Headhunter (Lebanon, NJ United States)
This Sabrent cable looks exactly like the CablesToGo PS/2-USB converter I bought. If you type at any significant speed, forget it. The cable cannot keep up and the keyboard hangs while you type. CTG techs were responsive by email but suggested only that I set the keyboard settings slower. Even at slowest repeat rate, it still hangs. Seems like a buffer problem. Too bad. But don't waste your money. Am I really going to return a $10 cable? Zero stars but can't go that low.
Works but.. December 8, 2008

I had problems trying to get my system to recognize my keyboard during a new Windows installation when using this converter, and then once I finally got to Windows I had even more problems:
- Holding down a key takes a half second or more to be recognized, and then it just randomly stops repeating
- When you press a bunch of keys at the same time (i.e. during gaming), it sometimes just gives up and doesn't recognize anything, or sometimes presses the completely wrong key
For all these reasons I would definitely not recommend this converter for anything more than the most BASIC kvm use.
 Good as an adapter - Not good for keyboard and Mouse October 24, 2008
Mike P (SI, NY USA)
My inention was to use this product on a PS/2 mouse and keyboard and plug into a USB Port. As it turned out, I could only use it as a single adapter (mouse OR keyboard) because my Dell 530 (and 530s) would not recognize the mouse. I ended up buying another one of these adapters but the same thing happened. So, I ended up buying 2 and using up 2 USB Ports. I guess I should have known better.
 product good shipping bad October 7, 2008
buyer
the product is good. shipping cost the seller 19 units. until amazon.com enables the buyers to specify how the item is to be shipped (partial orders from any warehouse)the seller will lose sales on automatically returned items due to USPS "invalid address".
It'd be great if it worked.... September 30, 2008

I tried to use this adapter in conjunction with a KVM [which works flawlessly]. Tried it on both a Windows XP and a Vista machine. Neither recognized the keyboard or mouse.
