Dual PS/2 to USB 2.0 active converter

This active converter cable lets you connect a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse to a single USB 2.0 port on a modern computer. The integrated conversion chip handles both input devices simultaneously without requiring any driver installation. It is designed for desktop PCs, POS terminals and industrial equipment that no longer include native PS/2 ports.

Replaces legacy PS/2 ports on new systems

Use this adapter when your motherboard or industrial host lacks PS/2 connectors but you want to keep using existing PS/2 peripherals. The active chip provides stable signal conversion with low latency for daily office or point-of-sale tasks. The jump is worth it when replacing the keyboard and mouse would cost more than the adapter itself.

Check peripheral types and BIOS hot-plug support

Verify that both devices use standard PS/2 plugs and are a keyboard and mouse combination; game controllers are not supported. Some motherboards do not recognise hot-plugged PS/2 devices during the BIOS phase, so connect the adapter before powering on if you need input at that stage. Ensure a free USB 2.0 port is available for the male connector.
