but an overall score of 4 because since I've installed the cable adapter, my curser randomly jumps to other places on the screen. Gave this product a 4 because. [[ASIN:B000VE3R9G Sabrent SBT-CPS2 USB to Dual PS/2 Converter Cable Adapter. Of course the only time that is a problem is if/when I'm playing a "timed game" online. (5) for price, very resonable (5) for quick delivery. (5) for easy to hook up. HOWEVER, I have NOT contacted the company or Amazon because I dont think it's that big of a deal. Overall, I'm happy with the item, sure beats using 2 separate USB ports for mouse and keyboard.
Am I really going to return a $10 cable. Too bad.
If you type at any significant speed, forget it. The cable cannot keep up and the keyboard hangs while you type.
This Sabrent cable looks exactly like the CablesToGo PS/2-USB converter I bought. Seems like a buffer problem.
CTG techs were responsive by email but suggested only that I set the keyboard settings slower. Even at slowest repeat rate, it still hangs.
But don't waste your money. Zero stars but can't go that low.
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 keyFor all these reasons I would definitely not recommend this converter for anything more than the most BASIC kvm use.
I ended up buying another one of these adapters but the same thing happened. 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. So, I ended up buying 2 and using up 2 USB Ports. I guess I should have known better.
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".
