Anyone know where I can get a USB to PS2 converter?

[TheKid]

I was given a USB keyboard recently and wanted to use it with my system. The only problem is that I'm using a KVM switch that doesn't support USB devices. Does anyone know of anywhere I could get a connector that would convert from USB to PS2? Sorta like what comes with some mice. Thanks,

I believe the keyboard itself has to support PS/2, it's not quite as simple as converting the physical interface.

I does support it, but there was no connector included. I hae the manual, but no converter.

Thanks,

You should be able to pick up a converter at Fry's or CompUSA or where ever, I would think.

I have one. I'll give it to you for 20 bucks!

I bought a replacement one for my mouse for $3 a local shop.

Just tell them you need an <insert brand here> USB to PS/2 converter and I'm sure they can get you a replacement.

As Viper said, the KB has to support it, you can't just convert any USB KB to PS/2. The KB has to be wired for both.
