Hi, I have an older computer with PS2 connections for the keyboard wireless mouse and a newer computer with USB. Is there a way to use this?

I had the same type situation. I did have another keyboard with usb and have mice of both kinds, so had no problem.

If you have available sub2 ports yes also if you have a pic port you can add a usb card

You have to buy an adapter to covert PS2 Connections on the computer to USB. The switch is USB only

This unit will accept USB only for the keyboard and mouse. To keep your existing keyboard or mouse with ps2 connections you will need adapters. I do not know about wireless but I would assume you would need to be certain the drivers for such wireless connection was loaded on every machine you connected.

Yes. Your keyboard has a PS2 connection. It will plug into either the green or the purple ends. The other can be used for an old mouse.

No problem. Wired keyboard and wired mouse work fine - individually or as a group. Wireless keyboard and mouse work as well. So far, absolutely no problems with this unit and the USB3 speed is great. Don't forget to order a USB3 extender cable if you want to have the unit at a convenient place away from the PC. Kurt

I had this plugged into the back of a desktop tower and then the older style ps2 keyboard and mouse plugged into it, so as long as the keyboard and mouse cables will reach it should work fine.

The USB adapter is for computers that do not have native bluetooth support. If you have a computer with a bluetooth receiver, then you do not need to use the adapter. I would assume that the keyboard will work just fine with your PS3.

Have not tried, but I don't see why not. As long as the keyboard and mouse you're using works with both computers it should.

I am using this to connect my ancient keyboard to a new system. My old XP laptop had a PS2 port to plug into, but the Windows 7 laptop (late 2013) only has UBS ports. This works great. Can't help with mice; my old mice wear out and get replaced.

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.

It sounds like your mouse and keyboard use the serial connectors. Search on line for PS2 to USB and serial to USB adapters.You need adapters for the mouse and keyboard (The adapters have the same colors as your mouse and keyboard so you can not mix up the adapters. Match teal to teal and purple to purple.) Since this PC comes with a keyboard and mouse then you have a spare keyboard and mouse

I had bought a PS2 to USB converter in order for me to be able to use a usb keyboard but, when I plug my wireless mouse into the usb it will not work.

Yes. I have my KB wireless, but my mouse is a MX518 that is plugged into the mouse port..........z

Yes you can actually first you need to get a usb hub or splitter and plug it into the mouse port. then you have to turn off mouse emulation. the manual should tell you how. then just plug mouse and keyboard into the splitter/hub and you should be ready to go

Do not think so. The mouse and keyboard have USB ports on the switch, so I can't see how they would be connected with a wireless technique. The driver for the wireless mouse and keyboard are different in an electronic sense.

PS2 is the old keyboard connection; it is round-looking. If you have a very, very old desktop, you might need a PS2 - but newer computers will accept a USB keyboard (that is the flatter horizontal style). You should be able to see a picture / definition of each type of connector on the web.

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.
