Sabrent USB-RJXT USB Extension Cable Over Cat5e RJ45 Extender adapter - Driverless Review

Sabrent USB-RJXT USB Extension Cable Over Cat5e RJ45 Extender adapter - Driverless
Average Reviews:

Works fine - I'm running 150 feet of Cat6e and it connects. BUT it is not USB 2.0 As it happens, I'm OK since what I'm using it for, the devices on the far end are USB 1.1 but I purchased for future proofing, but this was advertised as USB 2.0 when it isn't. Pretty poor. As a USB 1.1 device for $35 delivered over 150 ft - no problems and a deal - I'd still have bought it - just a con to say USB 2.0

Sabrent SBT-PS2U USB to Dual 2-Port PS/2 Splitter Cable Converter Review

Sabrent SBT-PS2U USB to Dual 2-Port PS/2 Splitter Cable Converter

I was so excited about this product, but it didn't do anything. My computer (Windows XP Home operating system) couldn't recognize the device. It was as if a driver was missing, but there wasn't any indication of how to get one. I poked arougd the Abrent website a bit and it wasn't helpful. Rather than mess around with product support, I decided to just return the thing. My Logitech mouse and old keyboard work fine with another adapter I have, and my computer didin't recognize this thing no matter what I had plugged in (including nothing), so the problem was with this splitter.

Cables To Go - 27225 - 1ft USB to Dual PS/2 Keyboard Mouse Adapter Review

first off, the product definitely works. i can plug my PS2 keyboards into the keyboard connector and type. no problemo. that's fine.
however, all of the keys that manufacturers have been adding to the top of the keyboards do NOT work with this adapter. windows (xp) definitely knows it's a keyboard with those buttons, and i can change what the buttons do in the driver setup, but from what i can tell, the signal can't get to the computer - it's not passed through the USB conversion process.
this was not mentioned anywhere on the cablestogo site before i ordered (i checked). i emailed them about it and they very quickly responded "nope, it doesn't work" (uh, gee, thanks - i knew that already).
so if you just want to type, it works great. if you need those keys, if you're addicted to those buttons up there, they will not work.

Adesso PS/2 to USB Adapter, connects 2 PS/2 connectors to 1 USB port/hub (ADP-PU21 ) Review

I'm one of those IBM Model-M "clicky keyboard" people. I won't use any keyboard but an IBM Model-M.
Unfortunately, the Model-M keyboard uses a PS/2 connection and does not interface to newer USB only computers.
So, an IBM keyboard user needs a PS/2 to USB adapter.
There are adapters out there which simply cross the wires. These DO NOT work with the Model M.
There are adapters out there with an active controller chip in them which (supposedly) properly converts the PS/2 signal format into USB.
Now, here's the big point... the PS/2 protocol is bi-directional. That is, the keyboard sends signals to the computer, BUT the computer can also send signals to the keyboard (such as "turn on the num lock lamp" or "do a reset").
I've tried every active controller that I could find with my Model M keyboard.
NONE of them sent communications back TO the printer... except the Adesso adapter.
The Adesso adapter sends all data transactions between the keyboard and computer... in both directions.
I was using a different adapter before and had random problems such as no reset (I had to momentarily unplug the keyboard) and the worst problem was multiple keystrokes.
Sometimes it would do thissssssssssssss

I tried this on both a Dell Inspiron notebook as well as a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. On both computers the mouse would work but the keyboard did not.
I ended up with the Kingwin UPS2C(I could not locate it on Amazon, had to go elsewhere) and it worked fine. That was is only $4.99 and works perfectly even with a KVM.
