I heard that many of these PS2 to USB adapters essentially run as a USB 1.1. True?

I purchased this connector to use on my Microsoft natural keyboard, this key board has the PS2 connector, this adaptor works ok, the keyboard lost communication a few times but not a big problem. I would still purchase this adaptor again. I am not to sure about your question about USB 1.1

Keyboards and mice are essentially USB 1 devices so sure. Theres no advantage in having your keyboard/mouse be any faster than the speeds USB 1 is capable of.

I purchased this adapter and it works fine for me. I did not want to buy a new keyboard and mouse. I like my keyboard. I never check the speed of the USB, but have not had any trouble with it losing communication. The feature I liked was I am able to use the same set of speakers for both PC's I believe it has a open USB port, but have not hooked anything to it.

I installed this into mine. It is the old version with the PS2 backwards compatibility. It has worked flawlessly for a couple months now.

HI,This adapter will not work for the purpose you stated. You would need a "PS2 to USB" adapter. It may be cheaper/easier to just buy a USB computer keyboard. The type of computer keyboard you have, has a PS2 connector which is an older style that was used before USB was developed. The M-Audio USB Midisport UNO MIDI adapter is used to connect a MIDI device/musical Keyboard to a computer. Hope this helps.

I just plugged this into my ps2 then ran an hdmi cable from this to my tv.. and it's usb cable into the ps2 as well.

Yes, the legacy ps/2 connection is the only one of its sort for peripherals, all others are usb.

Yeah it's compatible with 1 and 2 ps, and the model number I believe isn't the same of the other

Mine plugs into a USB port. I don't know what kind of a connection a PS/2 uses but I suspect it's also a USB. Most computers have several USB ports the mouse can use.

I am using one on windows 8. I have used this type of adapter with only one device (mouse or keyboard) connected. Just be sure you connect each PS-2 device to the correct prot on the adapter.

This adapter works for any PS2 Keyboard and/or PS2 mouse. There are picture icons on the connectors, indicating which one is the mouse connector, & which one is the keyboard connector. They did not use green & violet color coding on this adapter. In order to boot up to keyboard & mouse, you must plug your usb connector into a usb port on the back of your computer (which are your motherboard usb ports), that recognizes installed devices at bootup. Try the usb port in the upper left hand corner of the usb grouping first. I do not know what type of computer you have, but most computers should have a bootable usb port.

No the adapter only works with PS/2 mouse but not keyboard. Don't buy it for the keyboard.

I have my keyboard connected to the PS2 port, works fine. My mouse is a USB device.

If you mean the round PS/2 type ports, then no. Most new computers don't have those anymore. Everything is USB now.

Yes it can even play ps1 games, Thats why I bought it. It has worked great for over a year now and the only downside i see is its a bit clunky but thats what you get for having a ps3 and ps2 in one console. P.s from what I understand the 20gb 40gb and 60gb are officially reverse compatible and the 80gb and 160 gb are "sometimes" reverse compatible and are specifically mentioned if they are.
