Passive PS/2 to USB adapter for legacy peripherals
The SANOXY passive adapter converts a 6-pin PS/2 female port to a USB-A male plug so a PS/2 keyboard or mouse can attach to a modern computer. It is intended for users who still rely on older input devices but have only USB ports available. No driver installation is required for basic operation on compatible systems. The adapter simply changes the physical connector shape without active signal conversion.
Plug-in simplicity with a strict compatibility
Installation is as simple as inserting the PS/2 device into the female port and plugging the USB-A end into the computer. The critical limitation is that the peripheral itself must already support dual-protocol signalling; the adapter contains no electronics to translate PS/2 protocol to USB. If the keyboard or mouse lacks this native capability the connection will not function regardless of port or operating system.
USB 2.0 only and no power conversion
The adapter is rated for USB 2.0 speeds and will not operate on USB 3.0 ports. It draws whatever power the host port supplies but cannot convert voltage levels or provide additional current for demanding peripherals. Users needing active protocol translation or support for newer USB standards must seek a powered converter rather than this passive model.
