Customer Questions & Answers

What are the physical dimensions and approximate weight of the adapter?

The typical adapter of this type measures approximately 15 cm in total length (including the cable), 2.5 cm in width at the connector area and weighs around 40 g. These figures may vary by 10% depending on the manufacturer and batch.

Which operating systems and versions are compatible, and are there any known limitations?

It has been tested and works on Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP, Mac OS 9.0/OS X and most Linux distributions with USB HID support. Compatibility is not guaranteed on Windows versions later than XP or on recent Mac OS versions, where PS/2 drivers may be disabled by default.

Does it require any configuration, additional driver or external power supply to work?

No additional software or drivers are required, as it uses the USB HID standard. It is powered directly from the USB port, so no external power supply is needed. In rare cases, automatic detection may fail if the connected PS/2 devices use non-standard signals.

How does this converter compare with PCI-PS/2 cards or individual active USB adapters in terms of performance and reliability?
