Default ps/2 to usb converter. please help.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread. My computer has no ps/2 ports and uses usb for the mouse and keyboard. My old mouse is ps/2 and I would like to use this for my new computer. I'm looking for the cheapest converter I can buy from frys, bestbuy, circuitcity, newegg, ebay, amazon, etc....... Also i'm in America. Thanks

They have them at Staples for a few dollars.. The product we buy is the: APC USB to PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard Adaptor. IT's USB-A to 2x MD6 Female. This allows you to connect your PS/2 mouse and keyboard to a single USB slot.

Search Results
This link is CDW web page with the adapters. We usually get them from Staples, as our KVM is PS/2 and our servers are like your computer, without PS/2 connections.

i've been looking on ebay for the adapter and a lot of the auctions say REQUIRE: YOUR DEVICE MUST BE USB COMPATIBLE What does this mean???? because if it is changing from usb to ps/2 then how can the mouse already be usb compatible

I believe it means that the device not be so old that the OS won't recognize it. As in, it be new enough to have a method for the OS to recognize the keyboard ( i.e. 104 key US keyboard). Unless you are running a keyboard that is 15 years old, I doubt you will have a problem.
