How to use

The adapter is passive; if the connected PS/2 device requires active signal conversion, use a compatible active converter or an appropriate PS/2-to-USB interface device.

Recommendations

Ensure the PS/2 device is compatible with passive adapters; some keyboards or mice with proprietary electronics may not work and may require an active converter. Avoid excessive bending of the adapter and connectors to maintain reliable contact.
