| 852529 | 2010-01-27 05:28:00 | Hey there, I am trying to work this out and it shouldn't be that hard but.. Just got a nice new KVM switch. And set it up so I can switch between Linux and Windows Desktops. BUT I was wanting to use my pretty Microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard which is USB - but the KVM uses old school PS2 adapters. So I am thinking it needs: PC1 ps2=========ps2 KVM =ps2port adapter -- USB Wireless keyboard etc Linux1 ps2=======ps2 But all I am finding all the wrong combinations |

| 852531 | 2010-01-27 05:35:00 | USB to PS2 are available not sure if a double can be found though. I keep one on hand for working with older comps that don't have USB or need PS2 to use the BIOS | gary67 (56) | ||

| 852533 | 2010-02-01 04:39:00 | These adaptors are only useful with keyboards that can provide both USB and PS2 type signalling - the adaptor does not convert from one protocol to another; it simply is a wiring adaptor between two connector types. Usually, keyboards that can support both USB and PS2 come with the adaptor. | wuppo (41) | ||
